Beckham. Looking through the designs right now, some of the clothes are lovely and competitive with high designers. As for Victoria herself, I have never enjoyed her as a fashion icon in her own photos.</p> <p>I am wary of the conflict between her, David, and their son Brooklyn. I just read a few minutes on it, but I tend to believe children/adult children when they have problems with their families.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405249 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 19:09:04 +0000 Jenni NZ 2405249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yay Judy yes that bit was funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405185 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 04:09:00 +0000 judy 2405185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched it when it came out last Fall and enjoyed it.&nbsp; &nbsp;I often like her clothes, and admire her determination.&nbsp; &nbsp; David poking his head in to say the bit about her Dad owning a Rolls Royce was funny!&nbsp; They seem like they have good senses of humor, and what a love story.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405141 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 17:55:22 +0000 kkards 2405141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven’t seen the documentary yet, but her clothing and style appeals to be. &nbsp;Glad to hear it’s worth a watch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405136 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 17:44:30 +0000 cat2 2405136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn’t a pop music fan, so never had favorite Spice Girl. I did check at one point and was pleased to see she cuts for mid size customers (up through US 12?). But her pieces never appealed to me. Not suitable for work, and when I want something for a wedding, L K Bennett is more my speed. I really like prints and more movement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405097 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 04:01:56 +0000 avicennia 2405097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m unlikely to watch this (for lack of time more than anything), so<br /> I appreciate your review, Jenni. It seems that Victoria Beckham may be yet another woman who has been underestimated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405017 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:37:33 +0000 Jenni NZ 2405017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena, you’re right. Anna Wintour would not go to the shows for a long time and was eventually won over! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2405011 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:29:02 +0000 Irina 2405011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watched it some time ago. Not a fan. Not of a person or a designer. Haven’t tried her beauty products yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2404973 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 12:35:46 +0000 Helena 2404973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't watched it but I agree with Angie ... Good on her for keeping it going, I seem to remember an anecdote (possibly apocryphal) about Anna Wintour snubbing her at the start, and now she's dressing the A list so well done ... I love an elitist being shushed :D</p> <p>I remember when she first really started getting huge in fashion and the VB column sheath dress was everywhere ... That was an absolutely gorgeous, modern classic luxe, "traditionally flattering" piece to my eye and she's always stayed true to that aesthetic, even if the silhouette has changed with the times.</p> <p>As to Victoria herself, I don't follow the Beckhams much but Posh was my favourite Spice Girl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2404944 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 02:46:48 +0000 Angie 2404944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Jenni. </b>Enjoyed your thoughts on the&nbsp;documentary, which I have not seen yet.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's&nbsp;extremely hard to launch a successful fashion brand - especially one with longevity. My hat off to Victoria!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/victoria-beckham-documentary#post-2404890 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:49:38 +0000 Jenni NZ 2404890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, have made this Off-topic so it can only be read by logged in people. I just watched the documentary on Netflix this week and found it really intriguing. I thought there was so much interesting content like how her fashion business was losing money so badly in about 2016 when she needed to bring in a business partner and restructure it, reducing lots of costs like $70K a year on plants! I was actually liking her by the end of the documentary when I didn’t really have an opinion before as to whether I “liked” her or not, just knew of her as a celebrity since the 90s from the Spice Girls which my daughters were into at the time.<br /> You probably know that I do not buy “designer” clothing, I suppose that term is loaded but I mean the internationally recognised luxury brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, etc. I buy some NZ designer items but generally on sale, like my several Sabatini items were from the Designer Garage Sale (ha! they mean NZ designers) or the factory outlet. It’s a personal discomfort from my upbringing by strict religious parents who also lived through the Great Depression (born 1920 and 1922 respectively) so I am not criticising buying designer. It’s personal to me. So I would not be buying Victoria Beckham clothing whether or not I “liked” her or even liked the clothing. I just thought she had made impressive progress when she was extremely criticised in trying to get into the fashion industry. Some of the clothes looked nice and some a bit odd to my eye, but co-incidentally (since I am reading about the new Wuthering Heights movie and intend to see it) Margot Robbie is wearing 2 Victoria Beckham outfits to promote the new movie.<br /> Interested if others have seen this documentary and what you thought, please be kind! Cheers Jenni </p>
