Netflix’s ‘Victoria Beckham’ Reveals Eating Struggles, Costly Missteps and a Brand Turnaround

The portrait traces the pressures and missteps behind her brand’s near-collapse, culminating in an investor-led course correction.

Overview

  • The three-episode documentary debuted worldwide on October 9 on Netflix and is directed by Nadia Hallgren.
  • Victoria Beckham recounts a history of eating disorders, including being weighed on live television six months after giving birth.
  • She describes overspending that nearly sank her fashion label, such as $70,000 a year on plants and an added $15,000 for an employee to water them.
  • David Beckham says the company was tens of millions in debt, with a 2017 investment from David Belhassen driving a restructuring and recovery.
  • The film includes testimony from Anna Wintour, Tom Ford, Roland Mouret and Eva Longoria, and the London premiere drew fellow Spice Girls members.
