Victoria Beckham: "I always dreamed of designing a collection"

Victoria Beckham has revealed that she has always had fashion design on her mind.

The singer turned to fashion and clothes after the split of the Spice Girls and she is due to open her first store in London this autumn.

Speaking in a Skype interview, the Brit said that she "had always dreamed of designing a collection".

Beckham said: "I've always loved fashion and I was that kid that used to watch my mum get ready and think, 'wow you look amazing'. The first schoolbag that I had was actually a Gucci carrier bag - not a proper Gucci bag, a carrier bag - that I would lug all of my schoolbooks to school in and I used that day in and day out until the bottom of the thing fell out."

She added: "I was a Spice Girl married to a footballer, I was trying to do something that no-one had really done before. The first dress that I wore in the Spice Girls that everybody thought was a little, black Gucci dress was actually from Miss Selfridge. I couldn't have afforded a little, black Gucci dress and Virgin Records certainly weren't gonna buy me a little Gucci dress."
