Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham has revealed that Roland Mouret mentored her through designing her first collection.
Both Roland and Victoria had previously denied that he had helped her with the designs.
A representative for Victoria said: "Roland set Victoria up with his pattern cutter and also introduced her to his fabric suppliers. The seamstress atelier in Battersea was introduced to Victoria via Roland - they are a couture atelier looking after many London-based designers."
"There is no secret Roland has helped Victoria set up various aspects of her atelier in London."
It has not been revealed though how involved Mouret was in creating the designs. Victoria's people insist that he had nothing to do with the creative process but an insider told the Mail on Sunday: "It's been a bit of a joke as to how much Roland has been involved. The similarities between the dresses are undeniable. The fact that Roland has been so hands-on has been kept a tightly guarded secret until now."
"We have all been convinced that Roland and Victoria must be in some kind of a business arrangement."
