She commented:

I think if you’re not willing to wear your own clothes, you’re doing something wrong. This line was meant to be about my style and pieces I want to walk into a store and want to buy. If you’re not wearing your own line, you’re taking all the fun out of it.”

By the way, Victoria Beckham has also recently claimed she likes her own styles a lot and she definitely proves her words by wearing the pieces of her dress ranges.

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.”

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.

Nicole Richie arrived at the event with her husband. The couple didn’t separate the whole evening. The long sparkling frock Nicole wore to the party didn’t flatter her at all. The designer looked too old and tired in it.

Olivia Wilde opted for a lighter look. Her beige dress with a long zip in front looked pretty. It was accessorized with red satin Ferragamo peep toe shoes.

Vanessa Hudgens looked super sexy in a black glitzy dress with extremely low cut. The star was perfect. Zac Efron tried to be as close to her as possible!

Victoria Beckham donned a dress from her own Fall 2010 collection. The frock looked nice but it was hardly better than other dresses at the party, though Posh had hoped to be the prettiest.

Abbie Cornish seems to have a very good choice and understading of what flatters her body. The girl looked wonderful in a dark blue gown with a chic-looking detail in front.

See other ladies and tell me which outfit you like the most.

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!

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?

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.

The former Spice Girl claimed the range of dresses was inspired by comic book detective Dick Tracy.

Beckham said she felt great about the fact the industry finally began to take her seriously as a designer. Besides, she revealed her dream was to open her own store in the next five years.

But, I’m still learning,’ she admitted. ‘I still feel I need to prove myself – all my life I’ve had to prove myself. Each season, I have to better myself. I really want to grow as a designer.’

WWD commented on the range:

The collection Beckham showed for fall … presented none of the neophyte awkwardness one might expect from a four-seasons’ new designer (and not just one with a pop star past).’

British Vogue’s Lauren David Peden also praised the 35-year-old’s creations:

Beckham presented a very beautiful collection that evolved her body-con aesthetic while still leaving room – literally – to breathe, thanks to a new-found focus on draping and fluidity.’

Lisa Armstrong of The Times said:

These clothes are not being churned out to make a quick buck (leave that to her jeans, perfume and sunglasses) – they’re extremely work intensive.’
I like the collection a lot, it’s just what I prefer wearing. What is your opinion?

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?”

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.

On why she is always so perfect: I love fashion, and that’s how I express myself…. I think about [what I’m going to wear] before I go to bed at night…. When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention. I’m not a supermodel. I make the best of what I’ve got. I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.

On why her pricy dresses sell so well: I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn’t be worn for one season—you should be able to wear it year after year.

On what makes a great pair of jeans: I’m such a perfectionist; I’ve worked really hard [with my team] to get it right. It’s got to be a great silhouette—long, slim legs. Really good design. I’m not saying that you’ve got to be a stick to wear them. You can be all different shapes and sizes.

On whether her feet hurt when she wears heels: Absolutely they hurt. Absolutely! I’m not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don’t mind. I will suffer. I don’t wear heels every day, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.

On what she considers the sexiest about a woman: I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. Sense of humor is definitely important. And sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around.

On whether she is jealous or not: It’s not healthy to be jealous. I look at David and I think, He’s so handsome and I’m so lucky to have him as a husband. And he’s an amazing father. I don’t blame people for looking at him and finding him attractive. I mean, I do.

On whether she had some sense when she met David: Yeah. I believe in love at first sight. I met my soulmate with David.

On whether she eats or not: I’ve had those questions for so many years; I’d probably be dead by now [if I didn’t]. I’m a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. I don’t eat junk food. I work out. That’s the only time I get upset by things written about me—when people write irresponsible things about my weight…. I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

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.

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.

The singer-turned-designer comments:

We had dinner last night and Romeo wore a suit with a little shirt and tie. That’s what he would wear every single day, he’s so into fashion. The other boys are all about going to the beach; he’s not interested. He’s like, ‘I want to go to work with mummy,’ and he sits there going through the collection, feeling the fabrics, giving his opinion. He loves it.”

This might mean kids can take after their parents and probably soon we’ll hear about new rising stars.
