Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham says her only competitor is herself, not other designers.

Victoria Beckham says her only competitor is herself.

The former Spice Girls singer has established herself as a successful fashion designer and while she admires the work of others, she insists she doesn’t see them as competition.

The confident Victoria stated

It’s my passion, what I always wanted to do. I have found an area I can compete in, in my own little way. I’m just starting. I have a long way to go and I know that. I have so much respect for the great designers, people like Miuccia Prada. I’m in awe of what she does. But I don’t think I’m competing with her or anyone else. My only competition is myself and my collection from the season before.

during a recent interview.

Victoria, mother of four children (Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 9, Cruz, 7, and one-year-old Harper) and wife to soccer star husband David Beckham – says she never set out to be a huge business brand and just designed clothes because she enjoyed it.

She told British Airways’ business: life magazine:

I didn’t set out to create a big brand or business. I just set out to design, to have a creative outlet. It’s what I like to do. I love fashion. It’s my hobby that’s turned into a successful business. Of course I have to work hard at it. I’m up early and most of the night as well.
