Victoria Beckham explained how she used clothes to ‘become someone else’ as she discussed her shared love of fashion with her mum in her new Netflix documentary.
Speaking in a teaser trailer ahead of its release on October 9, the designer, 51, recalled how her mother Jackie Adams, influenced her style.
Victoria will take centre stage in the show about her day-to-day life as creative director of the eponymous fashion and beauty brand she originally launched in 2008.
Ahead of a fashion show, the former Spice Girl explained: ‘I’ve always wanted to do this.
‘Throughout my life, I’ve used clothes to become someone else, be the person that I always wanted to be, that maybe naturally I wasn’t.
‘I used to customise the school uniform in the bathroom at lunchtime. I used to love watching my mum get dressed up, you know she really cared and made the best of herself.’

She added: ‘I remember my mum saying to me if you dress up to get on the aeroplane, if there’s any chance of being upgraded they’re always going to look at who looks the best. I mean the truth is, there is no first class on budget air lines.’
The series follows the success of 2023 release Beckham, a four-part Netflix series focused on her husband David’s stellar football career and life away from the pitch as a married father-of-four.
Victoria has put her heartache over her eldest son Brooklyn’s estrangement to one side and has made sure he features in her forthcoming Netflix show.
Despite the fashion designer having had no contact with Brooklyn, 26, since May, she has refused to cut scenes of him in the documentary which follows Victoria’s burgeoning business empire.
The aspiring chef and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, are currently at the heart of an acrimonious divide that has seen them notably absent from all significant family celebrations over recent months.
The Beckhams- including brothers Romeo, Cruz, and sister Harper – were not present to watch him renew his wedding vows with Nicola in New York’s Westchester County on August 2.
Attending the Bowers & Wilkins launch event for their Px8 S2 in London this week, David discussed his family.
On the subject of travelling, the former footballer opened up about being apart from his family, explaining that they ‘mean a lot to him’.

He told Daily Mail and other media: ‘I’m very close to my family, so, you know, over the years they’ve got used to me travelling.
‘You know, the boys obviously have been around, you know, most of my career, so, you know.
‘They’ve seen me travel a lot and so has Victoria and Harper later on, but now with obviously the travel that I do, you know, of course it’s really…, I miss my dogs as well. But they’re part of the family, so yeah, that’s really all I miss.’
David’s comments come as the Beckhams are said to no longer be on speaking terms with Brooklyn and his wife, American actress Nicola.
The couple recently renewed their vows without inviting them.
Brooklyn and his family were last pictured together on Boxing Day last year. He does not appear to have spent any time with them since.
He continued to ignore family milestones earlier this month, failing to join in with an outpouring of tributes to his brother Romeo, who was celebrating his 23rd birthday.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Brooklyn was asked how he copes with all the talk about his family and his private life.
‘There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife,’ he said. ‘Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.’
Brooklyn said he ‘never’ worries about what people say or write about his personal life.
‘Everyone is always going to say rubbish. I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun,’ he said.
