There was a time when the style set scorned the idea of a Spice Girl becoming a serious designer, but ‘Posh’ Victoria Beckham has never been one to follow the script.
For more than a decade, the wife of David Beckham has transformed her eponymous label from a celebrity-backed passion project into a powerhouse in the luxury fashion industry – though not without its fair share of challenges along the way.
Today, Victoria Beckham is a name whispered with reverence in the front rows of Paris Fashion Week, proving that persistence, reinvention, and an impeccable eye for design can rewrite even the most sceptical narratives.
As of March 2025, VB’s net worth is estimated to be around £70 million, largely thanks to her eponymous fashion label. Her designs have graced the steps of the Met Gala, been worn by some of Hollywood’s most influential actresses, and in 2017, won her an OBE for contributions to the fashion industry as presented by Prince William.
The year is 2008, seven years after the Spice Girls disbanded, and Victoria Beckham rebrands as a fashion designer with her first collection debuting at New York Fashion Week.
The highly-anticipated collection featured a tightly curated selection of ten expertly tailored dresses, exuding sophistication and clean lines. Despite initial doubts from industry insiders, the collection was met with widespread praise.
The designs spoke for themselves, and before long, A-listers like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Kate Winslet were stepping out in Victoria’s sleek, form-fitting creations.
Building a Beckham empire
By 2011, Victoria’s transition from WAG to fashion designer had been more successful than initially predicted. The mother-of-four wasted no time in growing her brand, expanding her line to include ‘Victoria by Victoria Beckham’, a ready-to-wear collection at more affordable prices.
