Did you know that Victoria Beckham was a genius and that she “knows a lot about handbags?”
Katie Hillier – the designer who has worked alongside the star on her luxury bag collection for the past two years – thinks people in the fashion industry need to “rethink their opinions” of the former Spice Girls singer because she is “super-smart.” I hadn’t realized that the fashion industry was populated with super-smart people.
Katie said: “Victoria is super-smart – people need to rethink their opinions of her. She knows a lot about handbags. In fact, she knows a lot about everything to do with fashion.”
“Working with her is not only really good fun; it’s satisfying because the product is so amazing. It’s hard to design a bag that speaks for itself.”
Katie – who also designs for the likes of Marc by Marc Jacobs and Loewe – explained as the 37-year-old singer-turned-designer is so focused on the “quality” of her garments, she enjoys working on a line that “means something.”
She added in an interview with the London Evening Standard newspaper: “With Victoria, it’s all about the quality. I get emails from her saying, ‘The little inside pocket doesn’t have the right stitching.'”
“Our focus isn’t on designing a logo but on finding the right leather. I enjoy working on something that I know means something.”
It all means $$$ – nothing else whatsoever.
