Victoria Beckham Likes to Compete Against Herself When Designing

When it comes to design, there is only one person Victoria Beckham competes with – herself. Victoria doesn’t believe she is up there with the greats yet, but has great respect for legendary designers such as Miuccia Prada who she really admires. However, at the moment she just tries to out-do herself with each season and she hopes with each passing collection her designs get better and better:

”It’s my passion, what I always wanted to do. I have found an area I can compete in, in my own little way. I’m just starting. I have a long way to go and I know that. I have so much respect for the great designers, people like Miuccia Prada. I’m in awe of what she does. But I don’t think I’m competing with her or anyone else. My only competition is myself and my collection from the season before.”

Victoria says she never intended for her design work to turn into something so big, but now that she has found success, she works extremely hard to keep it growing which means lots of sleepless nights and early starts, but she is happy to be embracing her passion:

”I didn’t set out to create a big brand or business. I just set out to design, to have a creative outlet. It’s what I like to do. I love fashion. It’s my hobby that’s turned into a successful business. Of course I have to work hard at it. I’m up early and most of the night as well.”
