Victoria Beckham has always had her sights set on fashion and beauty — dating back as far as her Posh Spice days.

In a set of clips from an upcoming podcast episode shared exclusively with PEOPLE, Beckham sits down with Lipstick on the Rim host Molly Sims to talk about fashion, beauty and all things spice.

"I learned so much about those Spice Girl days," Beckham, 48, tells Sims in the exclusive clip. "Being on the stage and wearing a lot of makeup" helped her develop a keen eye for what she liked and what she didn't when it came to beauty products, she says. "And let me tell you, the more tired that the Spice Girls got, the more makeup we put on our faces," she jokes.

Her passion for beauty and fashion started during those early Spice Girls days, and she reveals that she would even take fashion meetings early in the morning before performing at night. "It was always a dream for me to create a modern luxury fashion and beauty house, and so I knew I had to do that myself," Beckham says.

Having already established herself in the fashion world — with both the high-end Victoria Beckham label, launched in 2008, and a more affordable label in 2011 — she finally got the chance to launch into the beauty space in 2016. The opportunity came in the form of a capsule collection with Estée Lauder, and Beckham drew directly on her own makeup needs when creating the collection, which she said she was more than prepared for.

"I have collected over the years so much makeup," she tells Sims of the Estée Lauder collab. "And I knew what I wanted. I knew what I couldn't find."

She added that she believes it was her "attention to detail" with the collection — a 14-piece line consisting of eyeshadow, lip products, mascara and eyeliner — that "blew people away."

From there, she knew she had a ready-and-waiting audience. "The success of what I did with Estée Lauder really did show that there was an appetite for Victoria Beckham Beauty," the mother-of-four says.

"But for me to really do what I wanted to do with a real strong focus on clean formulas — but clean formulas that didn't mean there was a compromise with regards to the product actually working — I knew I had to do that on my own," she shares with Sims of the process of her working toward her own beauty line.

Since the launch of Victoria Beckham Beauty in 2019, Beckham has seen her reign extend beyond just the fashion industry. "The response to beauty has been phenomenal," she says.

It's her keen attention to detail that likely underlies the beauty line's success. "I obsess over these details," she tells Sims. "Everything is considered. Everything that I do, everything that my team does, is very, very considered. And it's all about the execution."

Her latest beauty achievement comes in the form of eyeliner. Her Satin Kajal eyeliner — which she told Andy Cohen they "literally cannot keep in stock" during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live last week — are a big source of pride for the "Wannabe" singer.Read more at:white formal dress | Formaldress au

New York based designer Kobi Halperin loves women. He loves to design for them, bringing them joy and strength through his fashions. He also enjoys providing a touch of beauty into a world that is currently not so beautiful. These are just a few of the personal revelations that the Israeli-born designer shared in conversation with PaperCity during a recent midday presentation at Tootsies.

Halperin was accompanied by a brilliant collection of both his namesake label Kobi Halperin and his relatively new venture as creative director for Ungaro, reviving the French heritage label of Emanuel Ungaro.

“I just love the idea. For me Paris is always a source of inspiration,” Halperin says of his year-old partnership. “So when this opportunity came I thought it’s amazing because the truth is I’m in love with this woman that is basically representing Ungaro.

“Every time after a war or after something happens that is meaningful, there is a celebration of getting dressed again. So I thought this was the perfect opportunity to bring back this brand in combination with being respectful to the heritage of the brand but brining myself into it also.

“It was the perfect opportunity to bring something new to the market . . . Ungaro is a brand that makes you smile.”

Halperin allowed that as the father of two girls and as a fashion designer it can sometimes seem difficult to justify designing beautiful clothes.

“So I really kind of took it to heart and I was really trying to understand what I do, why I do it and especially coming from Paris Fashion Week,” he says. “Here we are in Europe while there is so much suffering happening but still the Eiffel Tower is sparkling. So I thought about it a lot and I realized that we can actually bring some beauty to the world.”

That beauty was reflected in both collections displayed on the racks in Tootsies— Kobi Halperin a bit more casual, “but not in the LA way of casual,” and Ungaro more sophisticated. It boils down, Halperin points out, to how the subject feels after dressing.

Champagne flowed and the ladies swooned over the designs, many scooping up several pieces to take home.

“You stand proud. You feel good about yourself. It makes a difference,” Halperin says. “When you feel confidence and beautiful you are making everybody around you feel better. So I think it’s giving some power to what we do. So that’s the way I can justify what I do.

“I am working and designing for a woman who celebrates getting dressed every day. Bringing this energy and good spirits to the world which I think is meaningful in these days.”

Before launching his eponymous label seven years ago, Halperin had served as creative director of Elie Tahari and Kenneth Cole.Read more at:formal dresses online | formal dresses perth

The world's biggest fashion fête left no crumbs, as Wednesday ended an eight-day string of runway shows, exhibitions, and parties from the biggest names in clothing design.

Showcasing collections for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2023 season, festivities felt more alive than in recent post-pandemic seasons. This time around, designers were flanked by celebrities galore and top models strutting with legs for days.

Two of the most famous, sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid, closed out Tom Ford's disco-tinged show on Wednesday night in sweeping sequined gowns. Earlier in the week, Bella walked in the Proenza Schouler show –and on many other catwalks – alongside friend Kendall Jenner, while sis Gigi was spotted at a NYFW afterparty in Soho with her reported new beau Leonardo DiCaprio.

And in what is NYFW's greatest moment of "life imitates art" to date, the week was capped off with an ode to the fashion cult movie classic The Devil Wears Prada. Anne Hathaway sat front row at Michael Kors' runway show on Wednesday next to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the inspiration for Meryl Streep's take-no-prisoners magazine editor Miranda Priestly in the 2006 film.Read more at:formal dresses brisbane | formal dresses adelaide

Side hustles are growing in popularity as many people look for new ways to earn extra money, but one expert has warned there are pitfalls to avoid.

According to Associate Professor Simone Scagnelli, from Edith Cowan University’s School of Business and Law, the most important thing is to choose a hobby you love.

“I would say probably people should start easy, meaning do something they like … or they might be good at, because if it doesn’t take off, you’re still OK because it’s about the value of your time,” he told NCA NewsWire.

“It’s not your primary thing, of course, it’s a side. So even if it goes wrong, you might look at it as a learning opportunity that can improve yourself.”

If your side hustle starts to pick up, he warned you might have some costs involved, such as advertising and tax implications.

“If this really takes off as a business, you will need to do some paperwork to deal with bureaucracy,” he said.

“You will have to register as a business, you will have to keep records – accounting records and bookkeeping.

“There will be some implications in terms of income taxes, as well as potentially capital gains tax.”

But for those willing to put in the effort, a side hustle can be lucrative and even become a new main source of income.

Sydney-based Melissa Howard has managed to pay for her wedding and honeymoon in the Maldives thanks to her wardrobe by renting out her designer dresses.

She has made more than $20,000 sharing her frocks on peer-to-peer dress sharing platform The Volte.

While some of the dresses were very expensive, such as a Rachel Gilbert design which cost $1250, Ms Howard said it had already paid for itself twice over because it was regularly rented.

She now has more than 15 dresses, including ones from Zimmerman and Aje, and sends them across Australia for up to $550.

Ms Howard has done so well, she has now left her job in retail.

The Volte co-founder Bernadette Olivier said the platform was seeing a massive growth as more people became used to sharing instead of owning dresses.

“This highlights how consumers now see fashion as an investment rather than as disposable,” she said.

“This has the potential to dramatically disrupt the $3 trillion fast fashion industry.

“There’s this realisation that you can buy that Zimmermann dress and it pays itself off, so that dress can easily become cost-neutral, or an investment making money.”

There are a raft of other ways people are looking to make extra cash.

Melbourne-based university student Issy and her mum Kristen have earned $5874 since listing Issy’s car on peer-to-peer car sharing platform Car Next Door in November 2021.

“When I moved out of home last year, I couldn’t afford to keep my car due to increased living expenses and planned on selling it until my mum recommended I try Car Next Door,” Issy said.

“She helped me set up my car on the app and now I’m still able to use my car whenever I need it, but also am able make extra income off it each month.”

The money earned is going straight towards Issy’s first home deposit.

There has been a 148 per cent increase in cars listed on the platform compared to the same time last year, and since its inception in 2012, Car Next Door has paid more than $60m to car owners in Australia.

“We are seeing a huge spike in car listings on Car Next Door, which is no surprise given the increasing cost of living and people’s desire to not have to sacrifice the things they want and love – like holidays and entertainment,” Founder Will Davies said.

“Savvy Aussies are effectively supplementing their income by renting their car out on the platform, which is great for their pocket, and great for borrowers who want to avoid the financial and environmental cost of car ownership.”

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, nearly 48 per cent of Australians either have or are planning to start a side hustle.Read more at:formal dresses perth | plus size formal dresses australia

It’s one of the hottest tickets at Indian Market. This year the SWAIA Indigenous Fashion Show is Saturday-Sunday, August 20 – 21.

More than a dozen designers will participate, including Catherine Blackburn (Dene, European, English River First Nation), Jamie Okuma (Luiseno, Shoshone-Bannock, Wailaki, Okinawan, La Jolla), Patricia Michaels (Taos Pueblo), Lesley Hampton (Anishinaabe), Orlando Dugi (Navajo), Sho Sho Esquiro (Kaska Dene Aboriginal, Cree, Scottish), and Cody Sanderson (Navajo). We chatted with fashion show producer Amber-Dawn Bear Robe (Siksika/Blackfoot) about what to expect.

Cowboys & Indians: How will this year’s show be different?

Amber Dawn Bear Robe: It’s going to be larger by expanding over two days, with different designers for each, followed by a trunk soirée. The goal is to grow the fashion programming into a SWAIA Fashion Week.

C&I: How has the show evolved and what does it take to pull it off?

Bear Robe: Blood, sweat, and tears! [Laughs.] The first SWAIA runway was outdoors in Cathedral Park. I put it together with virtually no resources in 2013.

C&I: What will we see this year?

Bear Robe: Couture, ready-to-wear, and wearable art. The vibe and energy will differ. Saturday night will be more lounge-y with a “chill” vibe. I’m encouraging guests to have fun, get dressed up to the nines with bling, sparkle, and glam. The Saturday show will be luxurious, a highly social evening. Sunday is more of a traditional runway style. Both will be at the Santa Fe Convention Center with wine and nibbles.

C&I: How do you prepare?

Bear Robe: It’s a huge production, and I wear many fashionable hats, from model manager, artistic director, administration, liaison, and the list is endless. Ideally, I would have a team overseeing each department in executing the show, but that takes resources. Getting the lighting for the runway is challenging and expensive! Lighting, of course, can make a show, from good photos, filmography, presenting each designer in a visual manner that highlights the collections and models. The day of the show, the models are getting their hair and makeup done, designers are doing final fittings and adjustments. When you’re booking 100 models, there will always be some no-shows or last-minute cancellations. It’s last-minute controlled chaos, and it keeps me on my toes. The Supernaturals Indigenous modeling agency in Canada are coming here again. They bring a great eclectic energy to Santa Fe and the runway.

C&I: Anything else new?

Bear Robe: Last year we experimented with designer trunk shows and it proved to be exceedingly popular. This component is being planned for 2022 with more room for structure. People can meet the designers and models and buy or custom-order directly from the designer.

C&I: Great idea! What trends are you seeing in Indigenous fashion?

Bear Robe: There are different pockets of trends in Native fashion. Streetwear. Ready-to-wear. High-end. Ready-to-wear based on Indigenous couture is in high demand. Another trend in fashion, across the fashion board, is representing all body sizes, ages, genres, and traditional industry expectations — to be diverse in size, color, shape, form, and gender.

C&I: How is the fashion industry progressing with diversity, specifically inclusion of Indigenous designers?

Bear Robe: In America, the representation of Native designers is much more minimal in comparison with the Indigenous fashion and art scene in Canada. I don’t see any true, long-term commitments by apparel and larger fashion houses to Native designers. I’ve seen huge change happen in Canada, such as Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week, Toronto Indigenous Fashion Week, now titled Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival, magazine covers, news and media coverage outside the niche Native bubble.

C&I: What don’t people realize about Indigenous fashion?

Bear Robe: If I can get one thing across, it’s that Native people are extremely diverse in their expression, art, and design. One Native designer, artist, or model does not speak for or represent all Native North Americans. It’s ridiculous [to think] that one region can stand in for the richness of creativity in Canada and the United States. There is not a single sentence, word, or box that can answer, “What is Native fashion?,” which I am asked repeatedly. That’s like asking, “What is American fashion?” One could witness at the Met Gala’s recent theme of American fashion how it presents itself in many ways and manifestations. In fact, Indigenous design is central to American fashion. Most people do not realize this underpinning of design in the United States. We need to get away from this Pan-Indian idea of Indigenous North Americans. Native fashion can be fun, serious, political, conceptual, historical, and futuristic.

C&I: What about upcoming Market?

Bear Robe: I love SWAIA Market time. It is a place for people of all regions to unite in celebration of Indigenous arts in all of its diversity. We get together with old and new friends and family. People put on their Native bling, from Okuma dresses, statement jewelry, power footwear and strut their stuff. SWAIA fashion shows are a unique experience that you’re not going to get anywhere else in America.

SHO SHO ESQUIRO

Living nowadays in a condo in New Westminster, British Columbia, fashion designer Sho Sho Esquiro grew up in Canada’s remote Yukon.

“It’s quite drastic and extreme. It’s just a beautiful place to be from. I’m a proud Yukon-er,” she says.

On the two-day drive she often makes from Vancouver back home to the Yukon, she might see bears, moose, foxes, a herd of caribou, beavers, porcupines, eagles, owls, and magpies.

“It’s always a blessing when animals present themselves to you,” she says.

And it’s a long, three-day drive for Esquiro, 41, from Vancouver to Santa Fe, with her car loaded with her fashion garments. She specializes in Indigenous couture streetwear and Native luxury, using recycled furs and different leathers. She shows in museums and on runways, including fashion shows in Paris and New York Fashion Week. Sociopolitical statements appear on her recent garments. A wool ombre cashmere dress contains the statement “Kill the Indian, Save the Man,” which is beaded backward so it looks almost abstract.

“That’s a quote from Richard Pratt, who was responsible for opening the boarding schools in the U.S.,” she says.

A bustier top made of 24-karat gold, seal skin, wool, and mother of pearl says “Worth Our Wait in Gold.”

The spelling is, of course, intentional: “As if we’re waiting for justice for the murder of missing Indigenous women,” Esquiro says. “I live on a river, and a great big eagle sat on a tree outside the entire two months I was making the piece. There were times I would be crying, beading.”

At her SWAIA trunk show, she’ll be selling one-of-a-kind, upcycled jean jackets.

“[Indian Market has] been everything for my career,” she says. “I’ve made incredible friendships. There’s been networking and opportunities and pushing myself as an artist.”

Market only recently began admitting First Nations artists, and for Esquiro, it’s an opportunity to represent Canadians, First Nations, Kaska, and the Yukon.

“I’ve mentored up-and-coming Yukon artists,” she says, “so not only has SWAIA helped me, but indirectly others.”Read more at:australian formal dresses | white formal dresses
