Victoria Beckham proves success is the best revenge

When Victoria Beckham launched her first collection in 2008, the fashion industry expected her to fail. Not because she wouldn't appeal to the public or have a dazzling talent for publicity, but because celebrities rarely succeed in breaking into the notoriously sniffy fashion world – so why would she be any different? One magazine editor at the time even described her as a 'pop star, and a badly dressed one at that'. For nearly 20 years, Beckham has fought to prove everyone wrong. Her well-cut and largely flattering clothes were critically acclaimed and brought a new aesthetic to the industry while her beauty brand, which launched in 2019, has been an undeniable success.
