Victoria Beckham Reflects on Business Struggles and Tension with David Beckham

Victoria Beckham has opened up about one of the most difficult chapters of her life—the moment her namesake fashion brand nearly went under and how it tested both her confidence and her marriage to David Beckham.

In her new three-part Netflix docuseries, 'Victoria Beckham,' the designer and former 'Spice Girl' reflects on the period when her fashion label was millions in debt and on the verge of shutting down. She explained that after reviewing the company's finances with her husband, the couple realised the business was tens of millions in the red—a realisation that left her feeling hopeless and emotionally drained.

Victoria Beckham's Business Struggles

Victoria Beckham admitted that she felt as if she was constantly putting out fires and would often cry before heading to work each morning. She described that time as one of the darkest in her career. The pressure was even greater because David wasn't just her husband—he was also her business partner and investor. Discussing the financial struggles at home made her feel trapped between personal and professional obligations.

David Beckham, meanwhile, shared how difficult it was for him to watch his wife struggle. He said that seeing Victoria's determination to keep the business alive broke his heart, especially knowing how proud and independent she was.

He reflected on how, early in their marriage, Victoria had been the higher earner and even bought their first home—famously known as "Beckingham Palace." When she later had to ask for financial support to keep her brand afloat, both of them found it emotionally painful, especially as he was no longer able to continue funding it.

Despite the immense pressure, Victoria Beckham refused to give up. She sought out new investors and eventually found business partner David Belhassen, who she felt understood both her creative vision and the potential of the brand. However, when Belhassen first examined the company's finances, he initially decided not to invest, leaving Victoria devastated.

Turning Point in Victoria Beckham's Business

The turning point came after Belhassen's wife wore one of Victoria's designs on a night out and praised the brand for its elegance and craftsmanship. The positive feedback reignited his interest, and by the following Monday, he decided to move forward with the deal. Victoria Beckham, deeply moved by his faith in her, promised to make the partnership work.

Belhassen later revealed that one of the first conversations he had with Victoria involved tough truths about the business. He told her that if she wanted to save the brand, she would need to restructure everything and make difficult changes. Rather than resisting, Victoria welcomed his honesty and took responsibility for past mistakes. She acknowledged that she had lost direction at one point and had surrounded herself with people who were afraid to challenge her decisions.

Through persistence, humility, and strategic changes, Victoria managed to rebuild her company and restore stability. Her comeback story now stands as proof of her resilience and her evolution from pop icon to respected fashion entrepreneur.

At the London premiere of 'Victoria Beckham,' held recently, the designer celebrated with her family—David, and their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. Although eldest son Brooklyn could not attend, the family turned heads on the red carpet in coordinated black-and-white looks, while Victoria stunned in an elegant all-white ensemble featuring a fitted skirt and tailored blazer.
