Apparently, when fans would attend concert shows of the 90s pop group the Spice Girls, they weren’t hearing all members sing.
According to Victoria Beckham, her microphone was shut off during performances.
“They used to turn it off and just let the others sing,” Beckham said in an interview with Claudia Winkleman at the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London on May 5. “I got the last laugh—and now my mic is well and truly on, finally.”
For Beckham, life post-Spice Girls has been eventful as fashion designer and wife to David Beckham.
Her eponymous clothing line, Victoria Beckham, started out as a handful of dresses that has since ballooned to an enterprise that houses 150 employees.
“I was always the one that loved fashion and it was quite a result for me because the girls always used to get their clothes for free because they were crap and so there was a lot of budget for me to have my little Gucci dress,” she said to the audience.
The busy Beckham has several stores in London and Hong Kong—Asia is her “fastest growing market.” As with managing a fashion line in preparation with Fashion Week, it can become extremely stressful for the mother of four. But leave it to four-year-old Harper to bring a sense of calm to the team.
