Victoria Beckham launches plus-size clothing line as fashion label struggles with debts

Victoria Beckham is hoping to drum up some extra sales through her fashion line by finally opening up her collection to include styles to fit more body types.

The 48-year-old former Spice Girl has seen her fashion company struggle to make money ever since it was launched back in 2008.

And with reports recently revealing that her fashion empire is in the red to the tune of £54 million debts, the star may be hoping her latest roll of the dice will introduce better results.

It is reported Vicky is now making clothing that will fit sizes all the way up to an 18 dress size - with off-shoulder dresses and crop tops available in the range.

A source close to Vicky’s fashion label told the Mail on Sunday: “Finally Victoria has caught up. It’s great and she is extremely proud of her new collection.

“There is a whole new customer out there to buy her products but let’s face it, it has taken her a while but at least she is changing things.”

While the singer-turned-designer herself has also opened up about her new designs.

She told the publication: “I think women today want to look healthy, and curvy. They want to have some boobs and a bum. It’s not about being a certain size. It’s about knowing who you are and being happy with who you are.”

Fans will still need to dig deep, however, if they are to afford one of Victoria’s latest offerings as items range in price from £350 for an off-the-shoulder top, £450 for a cropped cardigan, and £490 for a mini-dress.

The larger sizes would swallow up Victoria herself if she were to try them on as she is believed to be a size six.

Earlier this month, it was revealed the star has hired a Team GB athlete to help keep her in shape via gruelling five-times per week workouts.

Speaking to The Sun last week, A List trainer Bobby Rich claimed Victoria joins him in the gym five days a week, and even maintains her healthy lifestyle whilst on holiday.

He said: "My methodology and application towards Victoria's training is based on my own conditioning programming I used when competing.

"I treat the year as a season and work through different training blocks, identifying peaks and recovery phases to get the most out of the incredible efforts Victoria puts into each session, mentally and physically.

“The biggest difference in Victoria's training is the introduction of strength training and functional movements, such as overhead squats, cleans and snatches."

In a typical session, the former Spice Girl can expect to burn around 600 calories.

Bobby went on to credit Victoria's "dedication", adding: "Victoria is a great example of my two fundamental teachings — accountability and consistency.

And earlier this year, Victoria’s husband David explained via a podcast that his wife also keeps her body in shape by refusing to detract from her strict diet of fish and vegetables.
