You Need To Know-Designer Victoria Beckham.

Victoria Caroline Beckham (née Adams; born 17 April 1974) is an English singer-songwriter, dancer, model, actress, fashion designer and businesswoman.

During her rise to fame with the late 1990s girl pop group the Spice Girls, Beckham was dubbed Posh Spice, a nickname first coined by the British pop music magazine, Top of the Pops in the July 1996 issue.Since the Spice Girls pursued separate careers, she has had a solo pop music career, scoring four UK Top 10 singles. Her first single to be released, "Out of Your Mind", reached Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart and is her highest chart entry to date. During her solo career, she has been signed to Virgin Records and Telstar Records.

Beckham has found more success as an internationally recognised and photographed style icon. Her career in fashion includes designing a line of jeans for Rock & Republic and later designing her own denim brand, dVb Style. Beckham has brought out her own range of sunglasses and fragrance, entitled Intimately Beckham, which has been released in the UK and the US. In association with the Japanese store Samantha Thavasa and Shiatzy Chen, she has produced a range of handbags and jewellery. In addition, Beckham has released two best-selling books; one her autobiography, the other a fashion guide.

In her television ventures, Beckham has participated in five official documentaries and reality shows about her, some of which include Being Victoria Beckham and The Real Beckhams. Her last documentary was Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, which documented her move to the US with her family in 2007. She has since made a cameo appearance in an episode of American TV series Ugly Betty, and been a guest judge on Project Runway, Germany's Next Topmodel, and American Idol.

She is the wife of English footballer David Beckham and they have three sons: Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. As of 2009, the couple's joint wealth is estimated at £125 million.

Victoria Beckham (and wife of soccer star David Beckham) has earned quite a reputation for being a glamorous, trendsetting style icon. She first launched her dvb denim line in 2007 and then followed with a collection of dresses (which she is often spotted wearing) that debuted for spring 2009 to overwhelming critical acclaim. With timeless, designer-inspired details, sophisticated cut and tailoring, and body-conscious fits, Beckham proves she is not just another celebrity name in search of fashion designer fame. Key looks from the Victoria Beckham line include perfect-fitting sheaths, dreamy cocktail dresses, and embellished little black dresses. “I am a woman who has loved fashion for as long as I can remember, and over the years I have dreamt of creating a collection of dresses that embody my own personal style and embrace the female form,” Beckham has said. The rising fashion star also designs a line of ultrachic sunglasses.
