Hell's bells - what next?
'I sympathise with fat people'?

One thing that amused me from the article was this quote:
But the one actress Victoria would like to see one of her dresses on is We Need To Talk About Kevin star Tilda Swinton who she finds 'intriguing, very stylish, she clearly understands fashion'
Tilda Swinton clearly understands fashion? Omg, is she joking. Great actress, but she wears the most hideous outfits. Talking of hideous, those knickers miserable face is wearing are bloody awful!
She's still identifying with an average woman though, which she clearly isn't. That little gem's nothing on some of the fibs she's come out with.
Agree with you on Tilda Swinton. Everything she wears makes her look like she's run through a dark room covered in glue and wore what stuck.
The DM has taken one sentence from an interview and used it in the way they always do - to mock.
Think I'll wait to read the actual HB interview instead of joining in the premature outrage/ridiculing of VB. Also -
"We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever and then I say "OK, I’m going to put it on. I stand for the general public here"
All I get from this is that she wants her clothes to look good on women who don't have model height/proportions.
Great photoshoot, retro swimwear is fab, particularly the green 2-piece. :cool:
And Tilda Swinton is imo one of the most stylish people on earth. Effortlessly so, inate, original, totally her own. I can see why VB would love to dress her.
Personally, as I never have and never will, buy Harpers Bazaar, I've only go the DM article to go on.
To me anyway, sonunds as if she's identifying with Mrs/Ms Average, which she never will be.
The average person that buys her dresses. I do not think sizes 16s need to apply. She was just saying that would be no point in trying her dresses on a fit model, because her frame represents the consumer. And she's right.
Victoria Beckham is tiny, but that's a about it, the proportions of high fashion models are out of this world. Her frame is nothing extraordinary.
No need to buy it. HB is online, and the full interview will be available on the internet (usually a couple of days or thereabouts after the hard copy comes out.)
Also, surely you're familiar enough with the DM by now to know how they operate? Lack of context, pulling a random sentence and building a sneering, outraged story around it?
I didn't read that as her saying I'm just like you - just that she wants her lines to be accessible to women off the catwalk. And they are.
Are you sure she's 5ft, 6? My friend met her one and said she is tiny..
She probably appears as tall as 5ft 6 as she wears those towering heels all the time!
I was shocked at how skinny she was,her arms were very sinewy .. She was surrounded by 3 massive blokes..
She probably appears as tall as 5ft 6 as she wears those towering heels all the time!
Her lifestyle and earnings, however, could be considered anything but 'average'.
Tilda Swinton wouldn't be the first name that springs to mind in terms of fashion expertise. She alternates between dressing like something from an alien planet and being wrapped in a 1970s chintze curtain.
Yes, she's got more money than most of us can ever dream of but it doesn't mean she hasn't got hang ups like almost every woman on the planet.
And the DM are the biggest hypocrites going. They're sticking up for the *average* woman who they say is a size 16 when they're usually slagging off women who are size 10/12 as big girls with larger bodies. :rolleyes:
matchstick cats and dogs..
Victoria is different to me on so many levels, but I think she is a fairly sound person, and in the world of high fashion, her figure is at the normal end of the scale.
Ive met her once she was very friendly and funny and warm everyone else who met her at the same time for around an hour & a half at a private kids party agreed we were expecting her to be pouty and stand offish but she wasnt, playing with everyones kids getting down on the floor in jeans and eating cupcakes and jellybeans i thought she was lovely and one of the mums had just lost 5 stone and was saying she dreamed of affording one of her dresses and she told her she was bringing out a defusion line which she did was over a year later & i dont know how well she knew this woman but she sent her one of the dresses in a uk 12.
So not such a bad woman in my book, hardworking funny and a good mum.
