Earlier in the day, Beckham sat for an in-conversation event with Marc Jacobs at the LNP-designed store. \u201cMarc is someone that I\u2019ve known for a long time and someone who I\u2019ve always really respected,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s supported me right from the beginning and has been a huge inspiration.\u201d (Both fashion and pop culture fans will, of course, recall Jacobs\u2019s seminal adverts starring Beckham in an oversized shopping bag almost 20 years ago.)<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been exactly a year since the three-part docuseries<\/a> chronicling Beckham\u2019s trajectory from Spice Girl to mainstay on the Paris Fashion Week calendar aired on Netflix. Not only did it allow audiences to peek behind the curtain, she feels the project was transformative for the business, too\u2014which recently reported<\/a> its first year of profitability and double digital growth. \u201cI love the fact that the documentary really shone a light on the industry,\u201d Beckham mused. \u201cI think it showed my involvement with the brand and what I do as creative director of both fashion and beauty. I was very transparent about what the business has been through. And we\u2019ve come out the other end. To be able to say we\u2019re profitable in fashion, that\u2019s something very rare at the moment\u2014and something I\u2019m very, very proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n Evidently, the idea that slow and steady wins the race is paramount for VB. Case in point: the evening doubled as a celebration for Rouge Victoria, her beauty line\u2019s sleek new lippie that took over two years to formulate. Among those who donned jewel-toned dresses and power-shoulder suiting (the kind that Fran Leibowitz herself would surely co-sign) for the big reveal were Isabel Grutman, Broadway actor Kara Young, Eva Longoria, and Daria Strokus.<\/p>\n Guests took their seats at pristine tables laden with hurricane candles of varying heights, silver objets d\u00e9coratifs in the shape of fortune cookies, and menu cards in deep burgundy that nodded to the lipstick bullets. Beckham, too, went the bordeaux-hued route with her outfit choice. Indochine\u2019s lip-smacking favorites such as spicy shrimp, summer rolls, and sizzling sirloin were served course by course, to a ambient soundtrack of 1990s r \u2018n\u2019 b, as the literal Bordeaux continued to flow.<\/p>\n By downtown New York standards, it wouldn\u2019t be a late night\u2014though the main courses were cleared just after 10 p.m. Beckham had a busy morning ahead, with TV appearances to film and the upcoming second and final drop of her hotly anticipated Gap collaboration to promote. Lipstick economy or not, the drop means that everyone can get a piece of the Victoria Beckham brand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier in the day, Beckham sat for an in-conversation event with Marc Jacobs at the LNP-designed store. \u201cMarc…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,2901],"class_list":["post-374923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-vogue-parties"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
