Victoria Beckham has officially confirmed she is collaborating with American retail giant Target, in her first move to the high street since she began her namesake label in 2008. Starting off as a small, low-key presentation at its launch, the brand has sky rocketed to become a regular feature at the prestigious New York Fashion Week. Her move to high street retail is not Beckham’s first attempt at making her designs more affordable, launching a cheaper range Victoria by Victoria Beckham in 2011, but is certainly her most drastic. Her Target collection will include just over 200 pieces for both women and children, with prices ranging from an affordable £5 to £57. Speaking of her new collection, Beckham has said “I always say that I want to empower women and make women look like the best versions of themselves. That shouldn’t be only people who can afford to spend a certain amount of money”. Now we can all feel and look like a Posh spice!
