[Music] can we start [Music] yeah [Music] welcome to the run through of Vogue Victoria we are so excited to have you and I want to know Welcome to New York what do you pack when you're traveling Oh My Gosh New York City I pack a lot I like to have options why does that not surprise me I like I like to have options so quite a lot cuz you never know what you might need do you plan your outfits ahead of time that was I have to say one of my favorite moments of the groundbreaking documentary well th
ank you Beckham and I loved that davit PL as outfits a week in advance do you have the same thing happening in your closet you know I do I like to make sure that I have all eventuality covered so yeah I do I like to be quite organized okay but have options for sure do you work with anyone to do that do you have a stylist you no no no I never work with a stylist other than when I'm doing the show you know it's uh yeah it's just me you started the clothing line Victoria Beckham in 2008 why what wa
s the original thought bubble you know um I think it's always been a passion and a dream that became a reality and did you feel like you had to prove yourself or change in any way to be taken seriously as a fashion designer as you okay I think that there was a naivity back then you know if I had known now then that's the right way I I might not have had the the courage to do it but you know there was a naivity that was that had a sense of freedom about it was there one moment you can think of wh
en you felt like oh I've made it as a designer I am a designer now and people the world is watching after my first show in Paris I felt very proud very accomplished and I felt that I have worked very hard over the years to earn my place there MH and earned the right to feel that I deserve to be there mhm but I feel that I have to continue to prove to myself not to anybody else you know I was always quite aware that people might have preconceptions right and even when I first started it always ha
d to be about the product what is your process like now like how many collections are you working on what is the day-to-day so four collections a year two main collections two pre-collections and obviously we have accessories and everything else that goes on collaborations that we that we might be working on who is the dream person to wear your clothes oh my gosh I would love to to dress Kate Blanchet oh wonderful I do I love her wonderful that feels doable that would be a dream that would be a
dream if you're not wearing Victoria Beckham who are you wearing um you know maybe a little bit of vintage I actually really love what goes around comes around when I'm here in New York be know in London we have so many great vintage stores so I love to you know Potter around and and find those hidden gems wonderful what's the last grade vintage piece you bought God well I I I do like to collect vintage denim so that would probably be when I'm here Victoria I do feel like uh the documentary that
came out this fall was just a seismic event for the culture world I feel like everyone sort of stopped and couldn't talk about anything else did you expect that it would be that reaction we were thrilled by the reaction cuz I think when you do something like that it can go one of two ways yeah we were very honest and I suppose that puts you in a position where you feel um a little vulnerable right um but it was it was quite the experience and I think to be in the hands of of Fisher who is someo
ne that we really admire and respect you have to trust and I think it was a time where we were just really really honest and I think when you feel honest and when you're being honest that can make you you're most vulnerable and it was very real it was you know there was no there was no holding back well I have to say my biggest takeaway from it was the beckhams are all about family well and also the the sort of weird cooking shed which I also love don't tell him you call it a shed it's a very fa
bulous tent it's it's beautiful okay um but I'm curious about what does the Beckham family group chat look like well I think I think it was Harper actually that set the chat up okay and we all like to really participate you know we're a very close family and we really value each other and time together we like to even when we're traveling make sure that we're all communicating regularly and yeah does it have a name I think it's not as interesting as you might think I think it's like Beck and fam
ily chat or something like that but you know what's your most used Emoji um probably the the crying Emoji where we're laughing the crying because everybody in the Beckham family does have well I think I think we're all really funny especially me like really funny like comedy value right I would like to think yeah how often are you talking on the phone to your kids or seeing them a lot a lot a lot you know myself and dve like to not travel at the same time so one of us can always be home with Har
per she's the only one who's still at home she is you know Cruz he travels a lot and um you know Romeo has his own place right now um and Brooklyn lives in La okay but we me and David like to not be away at the same time okay cuz one of us likes to be at home doing the school run you know all those kind of things I know I have to say uh seeing Harper as an almost adult made me feel old because I remember sitting next to her at one of your fashion shows and she was picking her nose as a four-year
-old I know well there was that iconic image of Harper sitting next to Anna yes I think she had the same hair she had the Bob like Anna the only difference was is that Harper had had her entire fist up her nostril yes thankfully Anna was not picking her nose but half but Hara was but they had you know matching hairstyles well I wonder now that you have kids who are adults and mostly I mean three sons who were adults do you have advice for them as they sort of enter dating or for Brooklyn as a yo
ung married person I think you just got to be there for them you know I think communication is key and be there to support them support him and Nicola and I don't like to offer advice you know I think I'm always just there me and David were always just there are you excited to be your grandmother is that going to happen soon Jesus what hang on I I don't think it's happening just yet unless you guys know something that I don't it's not happening just yet I I just I got married at in my late 20s a
nd to me I was not ready yet but immediately my mother was ready for that to be next topic ation the last time I was with Anna I was like Anna what do your grandchildren call you and she said to me Anna yeah I know and I was like well that is very elegant so maybe I'll take that route yes yes exactly but it's not happening just yet but but you know hopefully one day if I am blessed then that would be wonderful but we're not there just it's hot guys it's hot in here what's happening is it differe
nt being a mother-in-law than a mother is that I don't know you know I think Nicola is wonderful and I think that she's so talented she's so passionate about what she does um and her and Brooklyn make each other super happy and that is wonderful to see as a mother all you want is for your for your kids to be happy right and that's that's everything I know NCA has her film Premiere this weekend she does are you dressing her are you going I am dressing her and I will absolutely be there I'm very p
roud to be there she's worked so hard I have to say when we were doing research for this we were amazed that you are the person who has been on the most V covers of anyone we've interviewed oh 31 do you have a favorite when you think of vot covers do you have one that you go to immediately sorry how many was there 31 internationally okay I have to say I loved the Michael Jansen cover that we did for British fol that had one of the dogs on the cover and people say don't work with dogs or children
and that cover was was it your dog or it was our dog there was a dog and there was children and there was Michael Jansen it was a real moment you have a big birthday coming up yes do you have plans is that something you're going to be celebrating Mark Jacobs a few days ago posted his birthday cake and it was he had a lot of candles I saw I don't love big birthday parties I just like to surround myself with the people that I love that I care about I did I have to say I did say to Mark when I las
t saw him God Mark we've got some big birthdays coming up I was like how do you feel about that and he turned to me and he said you know Victoria it's better than the alternative and I said what's that he's like not being here I was like well actually you got a point mark and I don't we just love Mark for that Honesty but I mean the words of wisdom for Mark Jacobs very important is there any like one word that comes to mind when you think about aging is it a good thing are there bad things I thi
nk it's good if you are healthy happy content but still driven and excited and still ambitious then that's all good what is the Victoria secret to getting older is there one thing I think work hard but you know have fun enjoy the journey you know over the years from being in the Spice Girls to starting my brand to to being where I am now I think it's about working hard but really enjoying the journey I'm going to do a rapid fire round of quick questions okay good dream vacation I'd say somewhere
beautiful in Europe in the summer time yeah with the family with my family yeah what do you what's on the soundtrack '90s soul and R&B okay what's your your guilty pleasure little cocktail or something what's the cocktail of choice for well we're currently into um a Lapine I have to say oh I don't know what that is my gosh it's a life changer oh my gosh tell me everything okay it's a little champagne with a big Ice Cube and a little soda water oh quite quite straightforward quite straightforwar
d yeah we're into that right now lovely all right and is there anything in your closet that Harper is not allowed to borrow no I mean I really do value my Jordan fors and she does because I'm a secret collector of trainers and she does like to wear them okay even the really exclusive ones okay I can't say no to her she can that all the kids can borrow anything that they want are you you are regular Instagram do you have a Fina a what a fake Instagram where you can sort of lurk and look at people
no is that a thing yeah you should get one what is it again a Fina a fake Instagram and that way people don't see that you're looking at what they're doing I should that sounds like fun what's your favorite online shopping site first dips we love our homes and you know you can find some great things what's the last great thing you got on first probably some lights or something like that okay it's the 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls which is very exciting is there a Spice Girls group chat ac
