Victoria Beckham reveals how her obsession with supermodel Linda Evangelista inspired her most iconic hairstyles
Victoria Beckham has revealed how she copied Linda Evangelista after becoming ‘completely obsessed’ with the supermodel.. The fashion designer, 50, opened up about her admiration for Linda, 59, in an episode of new documentary In Vogue: The 90s.
The documentary, which features a star-studded look at the fashion industry during that decade, will start streaming on Friday on Disney+.
During the interview with the former Spice Girl, Victoria explained that she became so interested in the 90s icon that she went to the same salon Linda used and even emulated her haircut.
She said: ‘[Linda] was the reason why I cut my hair, the reason why I dyed my hair lots of different colours. I was in New York, and I went to Garren, who was Linda’s hairdresser. Victoria Beckham has revealed how she copied Linda Evangelista after becoming ‘completely obsessed’ with the supermodel in a new documentary (pictured in 2008) ‘When he cut all my hair off. I was channeling my inner Linda.’
The former pop-star also revealed in the documentary how fashion brought her and her husband, David Beckham together.
She told the camera: ‘When I first met David in 1997, he’d heard that I was the Spice Girl that liked the designer clothes.
‘So after me going to a couple of football matches – I would say I was pursuing him, he’d probably say it was me stalking him – we arranged to go out on a date together.
‘He thought, “She’s the one who likes designer clothes,” and so he actually went out and bought himself a full Prada look for our first date to impress me. Which it did.’
In the revealing six-part series, Kate Moss opened up about the abuse she received by worried mothers.
The supermodel, 50, who became the poster girl for the trend in the Nineties, said that people would approach her in the street and accuse her of promoting eating disorders.
She told the Disney+ documentary: ‘Parents would come up to me and say, “My daughter’s anorexic”. It was awful.
