Victoria, dubbed Posh Spice, was joined by Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm. Together, the group found international fame and success. When the Spice Girls went on hiatus in the early 2000’s, Victoria pursued a solo career as a singer, releasing her self-titled album in 2001. During that period, Victoria was the subject of the first of five television documentaries about her life. Victoria also began pursuing fashion as a career in the earlier 2000’s, appearing on catwalks and modeling for a number of high profile fashion lines. After launching her denim label, dvb, in 2006, Victoria started to focus solely on fashion. She started the Victoria Beckham clothing line in 2008. It continues to find financial and critical success.
