Victoria Beckham On Designing Her Dresses

Victoria Beckham has spoken about her new dress collection and revealed that she doesn't actually design the dresses.

She defended herself though saying that despite not designing she does know what is what when it comes to clothes.

In an interview with The Times she said:"Do I draw the designs? No. Then again, nor do lots of designers. But I put it all on myself and walk around in it, and I know what feels comfortable. I know how a dress should sit. I've worn so many in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again because the corsets are too short and not cut high enough. Like I knew I would spend a lot on the best-quality zips because, like many women, I've had my share of crappy zips. I wanted a zip that undoes from both ends because then you can either put the dress on over your head or, if you don't want to mess up your hair, you can step into it - and also, you know, going to the loo wouldn't be this whole big palaver."

The dresses, which only go up to a size 12 went on sale today, and are priced from £650 to £1,900.

Victoria is not worried though that the current credit crunch climate will affect sales: "In these recessionary times, and at these prices, women are looking for something that will be an investment, won’t they?"

Victoria also spoke about how fashion is her true calling in life. She said: "I was never that good a singer, but I think I am good at fashion. Even when I was at school, where I was bullied, I was always customising my uniform."
