In the beginning I was all like "This is what's wrong with this world", and then I was all like "This is what is right with this world."

The credits have Dylan Moran as an extra but I don’t want to watch it a second time to find him. I enjoyed it though.

Nicely done. I'd always heard she had a sense of humor about herself, but I hadn't paid that much attention. I feel like I got about half of the it, so I want a Posh/Spice Girls expert to break it down for me. Loved the bit about the mic turned down.

That was hilarious. Im a huge spice girls fan (really) and the weaving in of lyrics was priceless. Thanks for posting this!

GuyZero, she said "pochettes" which is a French term for pocket but in fashion means wallet or clutch or basically a small purse, but oh the humor in the fact that indeed, it sounds like posh-ette and that adds to the meta funny...

Victoria Beckham has finagled her way into my fashion loving heart. I was cynical and vocally critical of her first collection, convinced she had ghost designers who did all the work and she just slapped her name on the label.

And somewhere along the line during these 10 years I changed my mind. Well, I guess more accurately, she changed my mind. Her fashion perspective has become stronger and clearer. There's a consistent commitment to tailoring, clean lines, and a balance between femininity and strength. There's a vision of what she thinks appeals to the modern woman and it feels genuine to her own approach and style, which is of course so critical for an own label brand.

I can't afford a lick of it, but I think her last two collections are her strongest yet, Spring/Summer 2018 and Autumn/Winter 2018. Contemporary with interesting details, but all of it is utterly wearable (ok well mostly, we must make some allowances to display runway wow). This is in contrast to the industry's current darling Gucci, which yes genius but so difficult to pull off if you're not a 20 something Instagram ingenue.

I even started following her Instagram about a year ago. And even before this video I discovered that she has a sense of humour! Her family is so loving and their personal dynamics are really cute!

I do believe she has just been plugging away, quietly learning and working hard. In a system currently obsessed with celebri-CDs like Virgil (aside from the representation topic, I find his output meh) and Demna (ugh) and Hedi (ughhhhhh) I am rooting for Victoria, Sarah and Phoebe from the sidelines.

zigazig ah!

As in all great British comedy, the whole thing walks right up to the edge of corpsing so ... many ... times. There must be a fabulous blooper reel.
