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.
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.
Interested if others have seen this documentary and what you thought, please be kind! Cheers Jenni
