New Netflix Series Spotlights Roland Mouret’s Role in Victoria Beckham’s Fashion Reinvention

The film tracks how Beckham shed the WAG label to earn credibility in design.

Overview

  • The three-part documentary is now streaming on Netflix and features on-camera reflections from Victoria Beckham and Roland Mouret.
  • Mouret says, "To make the dream become reality, we have to kill the WAG," describing a deliberate break from her footballer’s-wife image.
  • Beckham credits Mouret with tough guidance and practical training, including draping and working with pattern cutters and ateliers.
  • Both dispute rumors that Mouret designed her debut collection of 10 dresses, with a Beckham representative saying he introduced her to his pattern cutter, fabric suppliers and seamstress atelier.
  • Reports accompanying the release outline Mouret’s route from Paris model-stylist to London label founder and note he met Beckham through their manager, Simon Fuller.
