Victoria Beckham says she has built her career on hard work and resilience. First as a singer in the ‘90s supergroup the Spice Girls and now as a fashion designer for her namesake brand, Beckham has constantly had to prove herself.
She’s not the first designer to face critics and doubters, but Beckham says she feels she was “naïve” in not anticipating that she would receive the same level of criticism in fashion as she did as a pop star.
“I have a spotlight on my business like a lot of other brands do not,” she said. “And, you know, sometimes that’s great and sometimes it’s not. But it’s something that I’ve never complained about. I accept that,” she said in a conversation with Laura Weir at BoF VOICES 2022.
This week on The BoF Podcast, Beckham speaks about the development of her brand and how resilience has been at the core of her creative process.
