Swirling around Victoria Beckham are a number of siroccos: a second Spice Girls reunion, size ire, and her Wintourish visit to the Fashion East 2010 show to scout out aspiring young visionaries. And it's excellent that she's got her priorities straight, leaving talk of any reunion to former bandmates more hard-up for publicity and deflecting complaints about her allegedly barely-there body.
“I’m in London to do a bit of work," Beckham tells The Telegraph about a collection she showed at NYFW. ”I’ve heard so much about this show and I wanted to show my support for young designers. I know what it’s like, how stressful and scary it can be.” All in all it's a doozy of a statement. It dismissively regards how four broads bantering about getting their band together one last time can't really be called "work," so Sporty Spice, don't even think about writing off that fish and chips and pint of guinness you had as a "business expense."
But in that same sentence is another more insightful sentiment: that when the five of them used to do things like this for the sake of fashion and pop, not only was that work, but it was also stressful and scary.
The Fashion East show's line-up boasted Holly Fulton, Heikki Salonen, and Michael Van Der Ham. Of the three, Beckham's personal favorite was Fulton, whose signature included, "Crystals, beading and plastic graphics created dazzling architectural motifs on her leather, silk and PVC designs, in black and white, aquamarine and yellow, with matching neckpieces."
Meanwhile, here is some catty op-edding wherein the bitter scribe cries, "Preposterous Spice is, I fear, running out of options."
