Former Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham previously opened up on how she struggles to disconnect and distance herself from her fashion and beauty empire while on holiday. The 52-year-old singer turned fashionista shared how she frequently finds excuses to slip away from husband Sir David Beckham and their children in order to stay on top of her business. She launched her label in 2008, unveiling her debut collection of 10 dresses in New York. Determined for it to be regarded as more than a vanity project, she collaborated with her team to craft a polished aesthetic that would be distinctly her own. She admitted to WSJ. magazine: "I'm the kind of person that will be on holiday, and I'll go to the bathroom and sort of hide and make calls and send emails and be working so that my family don't know, because I can't switch off. This isn't just a job."

She said: "We share everything, and so we were both supporting the business really at a time where financially we weren't really in a position to do that."

Just over five years ago, Beckham's brand was approximately $68 million in debt. After 14 years of losses, Victoria's eponymous label finally turned a profit in 2022, largely owing to her makeup range, and she remains enormously proud of everything she has accomplished.

She said: "At a time when we're reading so much about how fashion is really struggling, the huge houses are really struggling, to be an independent brand, be profitable, fashion in its own right-clothing is selling and we are profitable independent of beauty - is something that I'm so proud of."

Until recently, the four Beckham children — Brooklyn, Cruz, Romeo and Harper — had regularly occupied front-row seats alongside their father at Victoria's fashion shows in a show of support. However, during Paris Fashion Week in March, Brooklyn, 27, and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham were conspicuously absent.

Two months prior, Brooklyn had published a lengthy Instagram post announcing a rift with his family, alleging that his parents had projected a fabricated image of togetherness for commercial gain.

"The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into," he wrote. "My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else. Brand Beckham comes first."
