Fifteen years ago Victoria Beckham phoned me in a state of high indignation about a newspaper headline branding her 'Skeletal Spice.' Victoria was furious.'I am incredibly fit and healthy, this photo is all shaded and distorted.' Then she got to the main point of her ire: 'What bothers me is that all the young kids will see this and think that's how they want to look. I felt so angry, it reduced me and my mum to tears.' I thought of this conversation when I saw footage from her new fashion show in New York. The young models all seemed to share the same two identical physical traits. 1) They were painfully thin. 2) They looked painfully miserable. This is the precise Victoria Beckham look, of course.
Victoria is a smart woman and a great mom. Son Brooklyn was next to husband David (and Anna Wintour) at the fashion show, but she has a daughter too. Does she want young children her daughter's age seeing this show and thinking this is the ideal look? One of sullen faced misery?
