But it’s still surprising to learn that when Beckham launched her fashion line , she was too self-conscious about her new direction to share the news with close friend Marc Jacobs .
‘We went out to dinner one night, and he said, “I saw that you put out a collection,”’ Beckham told ELLE US . ‘I felt embarrassed to tell Marc Jacobs that I—me, ex–Spice Girl, married to a footballer—was creating a fashion line.’
Runaway popularity with shoppers quickly allayed her concerns. Beckham’s clever way with body-conscious dresses and exclusive handbags has placed the brand on track to achieve $95.6m in earnings this year, ELLE reported.
Beckham attributes the line’s popularity to following her instincts. Her status as her own best model helps. After her recent pregnancy (with daughter Harper Seven , now five months old), Beckham slipped back into clothes from her own label in record time.
‘Oh, listen, I worked at it,’ she said. ‘I was breast-feeding, so I ate super healthy, and I worked out seven days a week. I wanted to burn all my leggings—I was adamant that by the time I went to fashion week I would be able to wear clothes.’
