Victoria Beckham Flattered by Mouret Comparisons
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Rumors,
Victoria Beckham is flattered that people think Roland Mouret designs her fashion label. The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer often has to contend with reports claiming Roland does all her work for her and while she insists it's not true, she looks at it as a compliment.
"I suppose if people think the clothes are too good for me to have designed them, that's a backhanded compliment. Look, I don't draw, but nor do lots of designers. I tie things around me. I experiment with ideas and I try to work out a way to make everything flattering and make a woman feel beautiful. Oprah Winfrey recently asked me to make her a dress. I must be doing something right."
Although Victoria lives in Los Angeles with her soccer star husband David Beckham and their three sons, her label is based in England so she often flies over to the UK to work on it. "I literally land, go straight to the studio, work till really late, go to the hotel and get up early the next day and do it again. But I don't see this as work. At 18 I was in the Spice Girls. But I wasn't very good, let's be honest, I didn't really, you know. sing. This is something I can do."

Victoria Beckham Wants Tilda Swinton, Angelina Jolie
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Victoria Beckham wants to dress Tilda Swinton. The singer-turned-fashion designer has already seen a host of female celebrities wear her designs and admits it would be a dream come true if the Oscar-winning actress donned one of her creations at a prestigious event.
"I'd like to dress Tilda Swinton, I'm obsessed with her, and also Angelina Jolie, Kate Bosworth and Michelle Obama - she would look great in the dresses. I'm flattered whenever I see a woman wearing one of my dresses - they don't have to be famous - and it's always a great compliment," Victoria said when speaking about who she would like to dress.
Victoria says celebrities often ask to wear one of her dresses, but she is very careful about how many she gives out because she doesn't want anyone in the same outfit.
"There has been competition to wear the same dress but I deal with it in a diplomatic way. I know what it's like - you don't want to wear the same thing as someone else. All the requests come through me. I make sure I manage it well so there's no embarrassment of people wearing the same thing. I don't want people ending up in those 'who wore it better' features, unless it's me because I wear them first. It's been amazing. The response has been breathtaking."

Olsens Twins, Victoria Beckham Want to Dress Michelle Obama
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Twin fashionistas Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen want to dress Michelle Obama.
The 24-year-old sisters have three fashion lines - The Row, Elizabeth + James and Olsenboye - and say they would love to see the First Lady in some of their designs from their most upmarket range.
“I’d love to get Michelle Obama in The Row. The simple suits and things. It’s all made in America, so why not?” Ashley said.
Mary-Kate also revealed how she and Ashley were taught to dress tastefully and elegantly from an early age: “When we were growing up, our mother taught us never to have your belly button exposed.”
The Olsen twins aren’t the only designers who have expressed a desire to work with Michelle. Victoria Beckham says she would love to create a dress for the First Lady because she’s such a “strong woman.”
“I would love to dress Mrs. Obama absolutely absolutely absolutely! I just think she’s incredible and she’s a very strong woman and she’s beautiful. I love women and I just want to make women feel good and beautiful and it’s just been a huge compliment that ladies have enjoyed wearing my dresses and they look great! It just goes to show they can flatter women of all different shapes and sizes, all different heights, and that’s what it’s about. It’s about creating an illusion and having a great cut.”
Victoria Beckham Finally Breaks Into Fashion Industry
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Women, Dresses,
Victoria Beckham is “amazed” by the popularity of her clothing line.
The singer-turned-fashion-designer presented her third dress collection at New York Fashion Week yesterday and said that she finally feels she has broken into the industry properly.
Referring to her soccer-star husband David Beckham, she said, “I know I used to be in a pop group, and I’m married to a footballer—a very lovely footballer. But I’m grateful that people are prepared to leave their preconceptions at the door and let the dresses speak for themselves. The sell-through has been amazing.”
Victoria showed her latest line in an art gallery and revealed that she has decided to focus on legs, rather than cleavage, for the Spring/Summer ‘10 collection.
“I think it looks more attractive, and it’s what my customers want.”
The dresses have higher corsets than previous ones, and while some graze the thigh, her knee and full-length styles also make an appearance. Colors include cerise, raspberry, black and gray, and many have blown-up shoulder pads, with Victoria claiming they “make your waist look so much smaller.”
Victoria’s dress range has proved a hit with celebrities, with Elle Macpherson, Madonna, and Brooke Shields all being spotted in outfits from the collection recently.

Katie Holmes Bumps Victoria Beckham Out of Maxfield
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales,
For some bizarre reason, Katie Holmes‘s fashion range is set to replace Victoria Beckham’s at a US store.
It has been claimed Los Angeles boutique Maxfield will sell Katie’s new collection Holmes and Yang, after dropping her close friend’s denim line dVb by Victoria Beckham.
A source told the New York Post, “Maxfield no longer carries dVb. It is because of poor sales.”
However, Beckham’s representative insists the exclusive boutique hasn’t stocked Victoria’s denim collection for some time: “Maxfield has not carried any dVb product for the past three seasons.” Maxfield’s representative wouldn’t say when the store dropped the fashion line.
This isn’t the first shop to stop stocking Victoria’s designs.

Victoria Beckham Makes Swinging Classy
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Sales, Women, Dresses,
When Victoria Beckham declined signing on to her Armani ads for another year to pursue her designing career, I was scared.
That was until she turned her American Idol appearances into a fashion show. That was also before I saw her short film, “Swings,” (above) which showcases her Fall/Winter 2009 collection.
