Victoria Beckham knows that beauty standards have had a major overhaul in recent years.
More and more companies are rethinking their campaigns. Like when Aerie launched their "Aerie Real" campaign, which promises no photoshop. Or when Victoria's Secret hired their first model with Down Syndrome.
While there's been some pushback to this from critics, one person who's all about it is Victoria Beckham. In a new interview, the fashion designer declared that "thin is now old-fashioned."
Her new line was created to flatter all body sizes, with Beckham saying that the dresses in the permanent capsule collection "look great on all different shapes and sizes."
Victoria is standing behind her words, as evident by her recent interview with Grazia.
The fashion designer opened up about how the world's beauty standards have shifted in positive ways.
"I think women today want to look healthy, and curvy. They want to have some boobs – and a bum." Her goal, she said, is even to get "as good a bottom as I can get."
There, she saw curvy women embracing her curves, a move that she hopes her daughter, Harper, 10, is able to do one day.
Beckham has three other children: Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 17.
"They walk along Miami beach with not a lot of clothes on, and they look fantastic. They show their bodies off with such confidence," she continued.
As the mother of a daughter, Victoria knows all about how impressionable little girls can be.
So she loved that Harper was around these kinds of women who were "really celebrating their curves and enjoying how they look."
In a July 2020 interview with Vogue Australia, she revealed that she was an "awkward teenager" who was bullied at school and didn't have many friends.
"So when Harper started school, I said to her: 'If you’re ever in the playground and there’s a little girl who is sitting on her own, ask her to play with you, go up and engage with her, because Mummy used to be that little girl.'"
She was one of the members of the Spice Girls, she's married to David Beckham, and she's a successful fashion designer. Life is good!
She's even found a balance with her health and fitness journey.
"It's about knowing who you are and being happy with who you are," she continued on, adding that she has struck her own balance.
"I have found my own balance between wanting to have fun and being disciplined about eating healthily and working out."
The mom of four has switched her "tons of cardio" routine into one that involves lifting heavy weights five or six days a week with her husband.
"It's good to switch things up and keep your body guessing. I've got so much more muscle tone now," she said.
