Victoria Beckham is stunned by the success her dress ranges have. The singer-turned-fashion designer has told the press that she works a lot to create the outfits for her collections and she feels very happy that finally her work has been praised. It really takes time to get the result you want.
Now Posh’s ambitions are growing fast. She has already fans of her designs with celebrities but she says she would love to create a dress for Michelle Obama, US First Lady. Victoria thinks it would be a great honour for her to design an outfit for such a “strong woman”.
She said:
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 says that it is also very nice to see women who aren’t stars but like wearing her dresses.
She said:
Seeing anyone wearing my clothes is exciting, whether it’s someone famous, a family member or a stranger. A few weeks ago, I bumped into a woman wearing a design of mine and screamed with excitement. I’m sure she thought I was crazy.”

At the Oscars stars tried to look as glamorous as possible wearing long sumptuous dresses, expensive jewelry and accessories. For 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar party held at Sunset Tower on Sunday (March 7) they went more modest and unpretentious though outfits still looked chic.
Kate Beckinsale looked gorgeous in a shimmering assymetrical dress complimented by Neil Lane diamond earrings and a large gold diamond platinum cocktail ring.
Katy Perry returned to her glamorous side. The I Kissed a Girl singer appeared on the red carpet wearing a perfect Zuhair Murad gown, H. Stern jewels, Judith Leiber clutch and Jimmy Choo shoes.
Kristen Stewart did her best to look good but dresses definitely don’t fit her. the young actress sported a midnight blue strapless dress by Monique L’Hullier.
Natalie Portman looked beautiful in her short metallic Lanvin dress, Tiffany jewels and Aldo shoes.

It turns out Victoria Beckham’s dresses become more and more popular. Elle Macpherson, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, Trudie Styler and now Sarah Jessica Parker opt for VB frocks to wear at glamorous events. Isn’t that the proof Posh has a designing talent and she finally found her niche?
Sarah Jessica Parker was invited as a guest to the ceremony to witness President Obama presenting the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities in Washington. It was a great honour for the actress and she was very particular when choosing the outfit for the event. She obviously made the right choice. The dress looked beautiful, stylish and very elegant on her!

Yes and yes, zero-sized models have to be defended now as they are often ignored and called unhealthy. It has recently become rather difficult for thin girls to find a job as a model as the fashion indusrty clearly shifts to curvier beauties like Lara Stone and Crystal Renn.
Victoria Beckham feels it right to say a word for slim models as she is very slim herself. And she is naturally healthy, she claims.
The 35-year-old says it is unfair to critisize fashion designers for using thin models as catwalk queens should not be discriminated against because of their weight.
Speaking on U.S. daytime show ‘The View’ about the controvercy surrounding size zero models Posh said:
Most of these girls are naturally thin. And I don’t think we should be discriminating against someone because they are too thin or too curvy or too large or whatever it is.”
Victoria, whose fashion collection received good reviews when it premiered on February 14 during New York Fashion Week, said she was passionate about a more inclusive fashion industry.
She has decided to take part in a campaign by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) which is calling for the industry to be more responsible about choosing the models.
She commented:
The CFDA have reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware. And I think designers are listening. I had a casting last week and had some terribly thin girls come in and it wouldn’t have worked.”
What do you think about zero-sized models?

The collection Victoria Beckham unveiled during New York Fashion Week on February 14 was received very warmly. It looks like Posh has finally got the acceptance she had striven for.
It was her fourth collection and the most successful one, to be sincere. Dresses and high platform shoes were the focus and no wonder why, it’s just what the designer wants to see and wear herself.
Victoria started the show by greeting everyone, which was very different from other presentations, and as the fashion parade continued she was telling about the collection, commenting on styles and designs.
She said:
I feel the clothes express how my own personal style has evolved, more relaxed, a little more slouchy, but still structured.’
The dresses looked perfect – classy, chic and sophisticated, the ones for red carpets and special events. You will hardly ever see someone wearing such a frock in the street.
Lots of draping appeared throughout, on backs and necklines. Puffed hemlines along with rather strict silhuettes looked pretty. Some gowns were created in the style of trenchcoats, so much loved by Victoria. Long slits on dresses added sexuality to designs.
A few frocks came loose in waist area and this made me a bit puzzled because I’ve never seen Posh rocking such an outfit.
The color pallette included deep reds, blues and greens, as well as nudes and a dazzling pale gold.

Victoria Beckham, whose women’s clothing lines are a huge success, says she isn’t going to create garments for men.
She told LOVE magazine:
I think Tom Ford is doing an incredible job…but it’s not like I can’t wait to do a men’s line. I love women. I’m a real girl’s girl.”
When working on outfits for ladies Posh pays attention to lots of things. First of all she wants those to be investment pieces and serve for long. So the quality is of utmost importance.
She said:
I just really love what I do and I’m passionate about it. It’s what I’ve also wanted to do and for me the quality is very important.”
Secondly, designs have to be really good so that the star-designer could wear them herself.
She said:
The sales have been phenomenal. It’s been a challenge – obviously people had preconceptions in the beginning – but I’ve worked really really hard. The final test for me is, would I wear it myself?”

Victoria Beckham is a person that you can love or hate but I don’t know a person who didn’t have ANY opinion about her. That’s good and that’s called ‘popularity’.
Glamour magzine took the responsibility to show another side of Posh, the softer one. And I think they’ve succeeded as I’ve looked at this woman in a different way.
In a number of photographes for the glossy Victoria is featured as a usual housewife but a bit more sophisticated maybe as no housewife actually washes the floors in heels.
In an interview Victoria reaveals a lot about her attitude to work, family, fans, etc.:
On what she would do on a day free of work:I travel a fair amount, and when I’m here in L.A., everything revolves around the kids. So if I’m not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children. They just love that. It’s like, Oh, there’s Mummy serving me! The other day I was there, I was reading to Cruz’s class. All the little girls were saying, “We really like your dress.” And it was quite cute because I don’t have a girl.
On what makes her smile: My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile. When I was in New York the day before the [last fashion] presentation…you’re trying to fit the models, [do] the hair and the makeup, and the anxiety makes you almost sick, but I’m like a pig in mud! That makes me smile.

Victoria Beckham likes designing so much that she plans to work in the fashion industry for the next 30 years.
Posh already has her own line of dresses, jeans and eyeglasses for her label dVb. And as she says she isn’t going to stop.
She said:
I plan on still being here in 25 to 30 years’ time. At the start it was tough because people had preconceptions but I worked incredibly hard and kept my head down. I have always had to work very, very hard with everything I do. That is just my work ethic.”
The 35-year-old has done very well with her dresses and her future collections will be even better, in my opinion. Moreover, her son Romeo is fond of fashion too. Now he is just seven but as time passes he will understand much more about style and new tendencies. So, his assistance will be very helpful for his designer-mother. Together they will be able to make huge contribution into the development of fashion in Britain and the globe.

It is becoming popular to say your offspring gives you fashion advice. What is it? Do we lose the sense of style or the younger know better?
Kate Moss has recenly confessed she listens to her seven-year-old daughter’s advice on choosing clothes. The British supermodel cliams Lila Grace already knows about fashion!
She told Company magazine:
Lila’s already got a great handbag collection! She’s got a mirrored Fendi bag and she’ll say things like, ‘I’m not going to wear that anymore’. She knows what she likes and I can’t force her to wear anything she doesn’t want to, which is annoying sometimes. She loves clothes. She’s got really good style, as well.”
The two usually go shopping together and Lila tells what she likes on her model mummy and what looks bad on her.
Kate says:
I rarely go shopping without her now. She tells me what she doesn’t like or she’ll say ‘Mummy, you look nice,’ or ‘That dress is amazing!’ She’s got it.”
Kate Moss isn’t the only celebrity to take style advice from her child. Another British star, Victoria Beckham, says her seven-year-old son Romeo loves helping her out with her fashion range.

PETA activists can sigh with relief as celebrities started wearing faux fur instead of natural. Maybe it is partially due to the anti-fur propaganda or something else but faux fur becomes more and more popular with those who we take example from.
Victoria Beckham has been the latest to appear wearing fake fur. And it looked chic and exquisite as usual Posh’s clothes.
Among those who have been noticed donning the new hot trend are Catherine Zeta Jones, Kelly Rowland, Liz Hurley, Myleene Klass and others.
Hope it will be going on and on! And poor animals will live longer!
