The Unstoppable Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:57:48 PST

No burglary heist could slow down Victoria Beckham. The ex-Spice Girl and celebrity designer has proven she's got some serious staying power in the fashion industry, and not only with her highly coveted dress collection. Tomorrow, the self-proclaimed perfectionist will reveal her completely redesigned denim and eyewear collection - which is now under the sole control of Beckham - at Net-A-Porter, along with two short fashion flicks honoring the occasion.

“I plan on still being here in 25 to 30 years' time,” said Beckham. "It's about doing things gradually and building the brand in a strategic way. It's about finding the right time, the right team. With everything that I do, I will only do it after I’ve done all my homework. I really am a perfectionist, and I don't want to rush anything."

That said, Beckham's business has grown tremendously over the past four seasons. Industry sources estimate the designer's dress, denim, and eyewear business will do about $7.5 million in sales next year. Marc Jacobs even touted Beckham for her accomplishments and work ethic, stating, "She is someone who has always wanted to design clothes. She knows the body, she loves it and she’s working her ass off."

Victoria's fresh denim line will retail at $215 to $485; eyewear will range from $349 for acetate Wayfarers to $525 for metal flat-top sunglasses. Super hot. Can you believe she used to be bullied in school? What doesn't break you makes you stronger, right?

David Beckham, Hot Fútbol Player, Model, and Clothing Designer!

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:00:22 PDT

David Beckham - fútbol and our personal favorite Armani underwear extraordinaire - has opened up another area of expertise -fashion designer. Following in the stylish footsteps of his wife's popular dress collections, David took the initiative and approached James Bond, owner of cult sneaker boutique, Undefeated, on a design collaboration. The result? A Fall men's collection for Adidas Originals by Originals. The classic-American clothing collection includes leather, cashmere, and silk fabrics. The footwear collection is inspired by Adidas's iconic kicks. Sadly, David will not personally model since he already has an endorsement contract. Victoria is pretty busy herself - she's set to unveil her second Armani ad in NY next week - but we're sure she'll make time to celebrate her hubby's latest venture!

This Week's Fab Favorite: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:00:22 PDT

You gotta hand it to her. Even with Paris Fashion Week and therefore fabulous people bedecked in designer duds, I am smitten by Victoria's cool and collected navy monochrome 'fit. From her captain cap to her Louis Vuitton Luxotica heels, no one does monochrome quite like VB. She dusted off some zippered navy dVb jeans and revealed some sexy decolletage via a sheer navy tank. A femme navy cardigan added softness to the sharp ensemble. Leaving her London hotel, I'm dying to know where she went - shopping, perhaps? Nah, I bet she had some meetings to discuss her highly successful dress collection. What's your favorite part of this? My instinct goes with the funkadelic shoes, but the mad hat is an added bonus. Makes me want to raid my navy pieces all over again.

Celebrity Style: Carine Roitfeld

FabSugar — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 23:33:22 PST

The future is so bright, may I remind you to wear shades? Special edition Celebrity Style in honor of daylight saving (Spring forward!), Paris Fashion Week, and the ever-cool Carine. Her dramatic white ensemble swung the fashion pendulum away from typical fashion-crowd black. There are touches of noir, of course, but also a glimmer of red via cute strappy red sandals. Savage aviators mean business, so dust your sunnies off, welcome Spring, and get down to it.

Oscars Afterparty: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:21:00 PST

Victoria Beckham arrived at the Oscars afterparties wearing a svelte black jersey gown from her very own dVb collection. The long lean silhouette adds extra inches to her height and the paillette-embellished shoulder detail lends sharp structure. Diamond studs and a matching ring are her adornments of choice. Do you love it or hate it?

Fab Flash: Victoria Beckham and Roland Mouret in Cahoots

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:00:22 PST

It's safe to say Victoria Beckham's dress collection is a hit. In fact, her collection has already sold out in London. But, did you know that designer Roland Mouret had a hand in her sensational success? According to sources, a spokesperson for Beckham disclosed that Mouret assisted her through the whole experience - just how much is to be debated.

"Roland set Victoria up with his pattern cutter and also introduced her to his fabric suppliers," said a Beckham spokesperson. "There is no secret Roland has helped Victoria set up various aspects of her atelier in London."

An insider states: "It's been a bit of a joke as to how much Roland has been involved. The similarities between the dresses are undeniable." Meanwhile, Beckham's representatives insist that Mouret "had absolutely nothing to do with the creative process." There is a slight resemblance between Beckham's designs and Mouret's, but enough to differentiate the two. What do you think?

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:00:22 PST

The first thing I thought when I saw Victoria Beckham leaving London's Heathrow Airport is, I wonder if she's wearing anything underneath that extraordinary coat. Hot! The singer jet set to LA in a gray coat with gold buttons, a cool fedora, and of course, her Hermes bag. I admire that in the battle between comfort and sophistication, the latter always wins for Victoria. If you can't pull this look off on a plane, a swanky party is also a good venue.

This Just In! Victoria Beckham Will Show at New York Fashion Week

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:40:47 PDT

Victoria is officially in the New York Fashion Week game. Despite rumors, Victoria will not be showing her dress collection on the runway. In the spirit of elitist designers like L'Wren Scott and Marchesa, Posh opted to show her frocks during New York Fashion Week to top editors and buyers by appointment only. There goes my chance for a piece of the VB pie . . .

Style For Style: Perfecting the Denim Mix

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Mixing denim is a dangerous game; you either pull it off or you don't. The key to perfecting this tricky look is thinking outside the box and above all, making sure your denim items contrast one another. Time to kick that old image of a cowboy out of your head!

Pair ink dark jeans with a light denim jacket, and vice versa.
Make it look like you mismatched your denim on purpose, like at D&G Spring '08 (pictured).
Look to trousers, blazers, and sharp cuts that will translate your mixed denim ensemble as modern.
Don't forget to check out the plethora of fun colored jeans available, too. The possibilities are endless!

Most of you despised this idea, but are you willing to try it out now?

To see some of my favorite denim items you can mix,

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

Is that a crack of a smile on Victoria Beckham's nude pout? Now that's more like it. It must be the positive energy radiating from her pale yellow Roland Mouret dress. Add a pair of favorite dVb sunnies and leopard print Loubs, and I would be smiling too. Victoria, with gorge man in tow, appeared at the ESPY Awards, both looking happy and healthy. I also totally dig her '60s do. How about you?
