Top shops dump Beckham range
By James Desborough & Sara Nuwar
A FASHION range promoted by Posh Spice Victoria Beckham has been dumped by a string of swish US shops.
Top outlets Fred Segal and Kitson have dropped her DVB denim range after poor sales and complaints about a lack of promotional work.
The news will come as a bitter blow to Posh, who is keen to launch a career as a fashion designer.
Her jeans are over £100 and when she launched the range, she said: "I want everything to be perfect.
"I'm not just a celebrity with a licensing deal. There isn't a single rivet or button that goes on a pair of jeans that I haven't designed or tested myself."
Fraser Ross, owner of Kitson, said: "We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn't. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell."

Offensive? Report commenti was in the LA kitson on wednesday and asked when her new range would be in and they said end of april! they're is still a waiting list for the black kick flare star ones, so i hardly believe this to be true, the range certainly sells. like everyone her who can afford it is rocking a pair of either the jeans or the sunglasses.

Offensive? Report commentA fool and their money are easily parted. There is no way on earth i would ever pay a couple of hundred pounds for a pair of DVB jeans or any other jeans for that matter. And are we all meant to believe that these stars actually design their own ranges (NOT).

Offensive? Report commentwhat is vicky b trying to proove?
that she is more than a wag, that she can sing, that she is a fashion icon? the effort she puts into her outfits are astonishing for a mother of three ( that she raises on her her own??, really?) always bleeting on about being 'hands on & family is what its all about'.
dearest vicky , raise your kids & put some flat shoes on, give us all a break.
I personally am sick of the hype.

Offensive? Report commentI just don't understand why there are so many people who hate VB!! She is a modern pop icon for many reasons, has lasted in a wonderful relationship, enjoys a life of luxury all while managing her children. Why wouldn't applaud that? Jealousy, that's why.

Offensive? Report commentHave anyone seen those ugly revolting jeans, bad bad and very bad - made in china and all bling and gold and crap stuff written on the pockets - just terrible. I mean who wants to wear a pair of jeans from a pretend fashion designer with no training and no education? and what's his name on there for - what did he do? vicky is just another example of a bored rich footballer housewife seriously seeking fame of her own.

Offensive? Report commentI was in Kitson today when she came in, with an air of bad attitude and flounced past everyone, not even saying 'hello' to the sales assistants. She went straight through to the back, past her piles and piles of jeans which are obviously not selling.
The reason lots of people hate her Daniel, is because her 'life of luxury' is extremely opulant and ungraceful, oozing arrogance and is meaningless. Look at Angelina Jolie- she is an Oscar winning actress who uses her fame to raise awareness on issues to help the world be a better place. If I were one of the worlds most photographed women, I wouldnt be shopping everyday and worrying about the size of my handbag. She has no self-worth and is only a 'pop icon' because today we live in a society where everyone is so 'bling celebrity' obssessed. We worship people who are famous and rich, rather than people who are talented, good and have good morals.
From Louise, the unfortunate one to be locked in Kitson with the person she disrespects most in the whole wide world. (I was only in Kitson because my friend wanted to go in)

Offensive? Report commenther life is followed by cameras. and to prove this, there is a video on x17 which shows victoria beckham in kitson...where she shock hands and spoke to a number of sale assistants. and far from flouncing in and not even saying hello she spoke at length with the staff, and was smiling nd posing for pictures with fans.
you really shouldn't lie - just makes you look like the fool.
