Victoria Beckham: I Represent the General Public

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,

Victoria Beckham believes her figure represents that of the "general public."

The size 6 singer-turned-fashion designer says she uses her own body to see how her designs will look on anyone who isn't a model.

"We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever and then I say 'Okay, I'm going to put it on. I stand for the general public here.' It's how I work. I found it really difficult when I was pregnant and I couldn't do that. It's part of the process - I'll stand here in my knickers and start draping fabric over myself. It was very hard when I didn't have my body."

The working mother-of-four broke down in tears when she won Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards last November - but insists it gave people a chance to see the "real" her.

Victoria Beckham Overwhelmed With BFA Win

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Victoria Beckham was "overwhelmed" to win Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.

The former Spice Girls star was thrilled to win the prestigious accolade with her eponymous label and was so shocked by the prize, she "lost the ability" to articulate herself:

"I have to say I was not expecting to win and I was quite overwhelmed. I've never felt my heart beating so fast. I lost the ability to think or speak - my vocabulary just went out the window. It means so much to me. I had the most phenomenal team of people and I was up there on behalf of all of us and I really didn't want to forget anyone. My mind was completely blank."

While Victoria has won critical acclaim for her collection, she insists she has never worried about "proving" herself to other people, though she is very proud of her accomplishments: "People say to me, 'Oh you've proved yourself to everybody...' But that was never why I did this. I had a lot to prove to myself. I'm proud of myself. I'm proud of my team."

Famed fashion photographer Nick Knight created the most dramatic and haunting tribute to date in honor of the late Alexander McQueen. Presented at the British Fashion Awards (where McQueen was posthumously awarded Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design), the short film features music by Bjork and the styling talents of Edward Enninful.

"We felt it was important to have the clothes featured one last time on flesh and blood before the [Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art] takes them away," Knight said.

And what an imaginative, beautiful way for the clothes' last show -- check out the video above.
