About Victoria Beckham
Launched in 2008 with a collection of dresses celebrated for their cut and fit, today Victoria Beckham’s eponymous label brand forms the basis for the modern woman’s wardrobe with perfectly executed silhouettes rooted in a sophisticated ease. A considered blend of classic British luxury and contemporary flair, the brand’s offering is developed at the Victoria Beckham HQ atelier in London and has expanded over the years to include everything from expertly crafted ready-to-wear, accessories and leather goods to award-winning beauty.
Fuelled by a longtime obsession with art and film, worlds from which she often draws inspiration, the transition from designer’s muse to Creative Director of her own brand was a natural one for Victoria Beckham, thanks in part to her meticulous attention to detail and a distinctly luxurious sensibility.
With offices in London and New York and a flagship store in Mayfair, the brand has won critical acclaim alongside multiple industry awards. In addition to victoriabeckham.com, Victoria Beckham is carried in 230 stores in 50 countries worldwide, with dedicated personalised spaces in key department stores.
