“I’m my worst critic. I’m hard on myself. I’m very, very serious about what I do and I want to grow significantly. I’d love to do children’s wear at some point, I’d love to do menswear. There are so many things. I love to dream big, be optimistic, positive, and see what happens—when the time is right.” _Victoria Beckham

“I suppose I was quite naïve. I didn’t know very much about the industry, and I was very aware that people would have preconceptions and that was OK. I put my head down, I worked hard, and I surrounded myself with the right team and people, and just stayed focused. It was about me creating clothes that I wanted to wear.” _Victoria Beckham

The must have collaboration of 2017 is the #VBxTarget Collection.  Victoria Beckham is partnering up with Target to bring her high-end luxury style to an affordable shopping cart near you.  The former Spice Girl will be creating a 200+ piece collection inspired by her Victoria, Victoria Beckham line.  The collection will include easy-to-wear dresses, rompers and playful tops, and bottoms for women, and corresponding styles for girls, toddler and baby.  It includes soft pastels, bright colors, spring prints and clean lines she’s known for, with sizing up to 3X with prices ranging from $6 to $70 with most things coming in under $40.  Speaking exclusively to BoF, said Beckham, “I’ve made no secret of the fact that I wanted to put a collection out there for people who either can’t afford designer prices or don’t want to pay designer prices.”

“The reality is that retailers need to sign up partners and collaborators in order to bring foot traffic as well as to create a positive halo effect,” Marc Beckman, chief executive of DMA United said. “They’re not doing these collaborations to generate meaningful revenue or growth — at all. It’s to bring customers into the door.”  With that being said for the first time plus-size product from a designer collaboration will be available in-store (while not all Target locations will carry the collection in plus sizes, each item will be available in the full size range on Target.com). Typically, plus sizes are only available online.  Let’s just hope the stores have more than one item and the Target site doesn’t crash like it has in the past.  The collection will be available April 9 through April 30, 2017, or while supplies last, at all Target stores and Target.com, with select pieces available for global shoppers via Victoria Beckham site victoriabeckham.com.Â
