Victoria Beckham Ready To Show Her Triumphs And Tears

The Spice Girl-turned-designer said her husband, former footballer David Beckham, convinced her to do the Netflix docuseries

NEW YORK — For someone who has been famous since the late 1990s, Victoria Beckham is surprisingly busy in the 2020s.

After many years in the red, the British pop star-turned-designer's eponymous fashion company Victoria Beckham Holdings saw revenue growth of more than 50 percent in 2023, and shrunk its operating losses before tax to £2.9 million (S$5 million), putting it on the road to profitability. It is no small thing for an independent luxury fashion brand.

She also introduced a successful fragrance line two years ago, and became the accidental star of Beckham, the 2023 Netflix documentary series about her husband, football star David Beckham.

Her charming cameos showed a playful and relatable side to the megawatt couple, who have three sons aged 26, 22 and 20 and a 14-year-old daughter.

2025 is looking no less buzzy for Victoria Beckham. For the first time, the 51-year-old showed her resort collection in person, rather than digitally, at a glamorous trunk show at Centurion New York, where American Express' (Amex) Centurion members could have an early pick of the pieces.

In autumn, the Spice Girls singer will be the star of her own Netflix docuseries, which will follow her day-to-day as the creative director of her fashion and beauty brands.

"It's hard work and determination that have built the brand into what it is now," she told Bloomberg in an exclusive interview at Centurion.

The company cannot yet say that it was in the black in 2024, as official figures for last year have not been finalized.

In recent years, it has received millions in cash injections from its owners, which include Beckham and her husband, British entertainment mogul Simon Fuller's XIX Management and NEO Investment Partners, a private equity firm. But the strategy seems to be working, as revenue has grown by double digits for three straight years.
