Q: How do you approach the design process Victoria
Victoria Beckham: I really do try on everything myself. Firstly because I’m a woman and I want to know everything fits properly. And secondly because I know from being photographed so much that I want my dresses to fit – from a 360 degree point of view. Other designers or male designers might do everything so it looks nice from the back and the front but I want to get the whole thing perfect.
I do actually know quite a few male designers who assured me that try on their own dresses on too!
Q: How does the relationship with your management work?
VB: Simon Fuller is a brilliant business partner. The reason that he is so good is that he never interferes. He lets me get on with it!
Q: What would you say is the real soul of the brand?
VB: When I first decided to start making dresses, it was Roland Mouret who helped me. He got together a tight team for me. So tight, in fact they are like my family and I’ve always managed the UK/USA issue by talking to them every single night, in my pyjamas on Skype!
Q: Why did you choose to show in New York rather than London
VB: I like New York because I felt the industry here had been kind and supportive of me, but I wouldn’t rule out showing in London
Q: So far all your brand extensions have been very successful – jeans, handbags, fragrance and sunglasses. What is next on your list?
VB: I would love to do shoes. The only problem with doing that is that I haven’t found the right team yet.
Q: What about menswear? And what is David’s role in the company?
VB: David’s role is to look good! I’m the funny one of the pair , but looks fade - I keep telling him that. I’m not entirely sure that I want to branch into menswear because, as Suzy and I just agreed, we think men look better with nothing on!
We think she's a lot more pleasant than people say, and she shows she has a sense of humour. Reportedly, she couldn't wait for Karl Lagerfield to arrive so she could show him her Chanel shoes.
