After a clip featuring Victoria from a footballer’s docuseries went viral, Netflix will look closely at artist’s fashion career
The posh life of Victoria Beckham will soon get the Netflix docuseries treatment. An as-yet-untitled look at the Spice Girl’s fashion and beauty businesses is set to begin production, the streaming service announced. Beckham, her family, and close confidants will speak to her “fashion journey” to becoming her own brand’s creative director, according to the network, and display artifacts from her archive that have not appeared in public. The streaming service’s announcement did not mention Beckham’s history with music or the constant gaze of paparazzi that has surveyed her private life for the past 25 years. No run date has been set.
Nicola Howson, who produced the Netflix docuseries Beckham about Victoria’s soccer star husband David, will also produce the Victoria docuseries. Beckham was well received, earning multiple BAFTA and Emmy nominations, and a clip in which the couple argued about Victoria’s family roots went viral (chagrining David). Julia Nottingham (Pamela: A Love Story; The Greatest Night in Pop) will also produce.
Beckham, who rose to prominence with the Spice Girls in the Nineties with the nickname Posh Spice, launched Victoria Beckham Ltd. with a line of dresses developed at an eponymous atelier in 2008. The company has since expanded its offerings to ready-to-wear fashion, eyewear, and leather goods. The brand describes its aesthetic as “a considered blend of classic British luxury with a subtle contemporary flair.”
The artist reunited with her fellow Spices earlier this year at her 50th birthday party in April. The quintet joined forces for a rendition of the 1997 Spiceworld hit “Stop,” which David Beckham filmed. This follows Britain’s Royal Mail honoring the quintet with a line of postage stamps earlier this year.
