===Launch of fashion label===
Beckham's eponymous label was launched in September 2008.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/09/celebrity.fashion|title=Victoria Beckham impresses on debut|last=Cartner-Morley|first=Jess|date=9 September 2008|work=The Guardian|access-date=10 September 2008|location=London|archive-date=2 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130902222219/http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/sep/09/celebrity.fashion|url-status=live}}</ref> By 2011, it had grown into a fixture of New York Fashion Week and a lower-priced Victoria by Victoria Beckham label was introduced. In the first quarter of 2011–12, it was predicted to generate annual sales of more than £60&nbsp;million.<ref name="DT White"/><ref name="Vogue Milligan">{{cite magazine|last1=Milligan|first1=Laura|date=24 October 2011|title=Beckham's Boost|url=http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2011/10/24/victoria-beckham-sales-increase---%C2%A360-million-this-year|magazine=Vogue|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714192559/http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2011/10/24/victoria-beckham-sales-increase---%C2%A360-million-this-year|archive-date=14 July 2014|access-date=6 July 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Known initially for its dresses, the range has expanded into separates and luxury handbags selling at up to £18,000. Alongside the main fashion line and diffusion range, the Victoria Beckham brand still includes separate denim, eyewear and fragrance lines.<ref name="DT White"/> In November 2011, Victoria Beckham won Designer Brand of the Year at the [[British Fashion Awards]].<ref name="Telegraph article"/>

In September 2012, Victoria Beckham was the most talked about designer on [[Twitter]] during [[New York Fashion Week]], also acquiring 57,000 new followers during the shows according to research by The Whispr Group.<ref name="Vogue Karmali">{{cite magazine|last1=Karmali|first1=Sarah|title=On Twitter|url=http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/09/21/victoria-beckham-most-talked-about-designer-on-twitter-new-york-fashion-week|magazine=Vogue|access-date=6 July 2014|archive-date=14 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714152611/http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/09/21/victoria-beckham-most-talked-about-designer-on-twitter-new-york-fashion-week|url-status=live}}</ref> Writing in ''[[The Independent]]'' in February 2014, Alexander Fury described how Victoria Beckham had made the transition from novelty to respected designer, citing her recent guest editorship of French ''[[Vogue Paris|Vogue]]'' and forthcoming participation in a panel discussion with the dean of [[Parsons The New School for Design|Parsons]] design school in New York. The article concluded that the brand's sales were down to the appeal of the designs themselves, not the celebrity association.<ref name="Independent Fury">{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/fashion-victim-to-style-victor-victoria-beckhams-journey-from-spice-girl-to-respected-fashion-designer-9117070.html|title=Fashion victim to style victor: Victoria Beckham's journey from Spice Girl to respected fashion designer|last1=Fury|first1=Alexander|date=9 February 2014|newspaper=The Independent|access-date=7 July 2014|archive-date=14 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714180102/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/news/fashion-victim-to-style-victor-victoria-beckhams-journey-from-spice-girl-to-respected-fashion-designer-9117070.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2017, Beckham's new collection for [[Target Corporation|Target]] featured a wide range of sizes from XS to 3X for women. Beckham also introduced a new line for children's wear.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/Victoria-Beckham-Target-Collaboration-Spring-2017-42587967|title=You Can Shop Victoria Beckham For Target Right Now|last=Wasilak|first=Sarah|work=POPSUGAR Fashion|access-date=3 October 2017|archive-date=3 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171003225655/https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/Victoria-Beckham-Target-Collaboration-Spring-2017-42587967|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2018, the collection was presented at [[London Fashion Week]] instead of at New York Fashion Week as normal.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/16/style/victoria-beckham-london-fashion-show.html|title=Victoria Beckham Sells Her Clothes Herself|last1=Paton|first1=Elizabeth|date=16 September 2018|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=21 September 2018|archive-date=20 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920151203/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/16/style/victoria-beckham-london-fashion-show.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2019, a spokesperson for the brand confirmed that the line would remain fur-free, and announced that as of the autumn/winter collection, it would also be free of any exotic skins.<ref>Alice Newbold, "[https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/victoria-beckham-bans-exotic-skins Victoria Beckham Bans Exotic Skins] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190217142255/https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/victoria-beckham-bans-exotic-skins |date=17 February 2019 }}," ''British Vogue'', 12 February 2019.</ref>

=== Business difficulties ===
Despite her high social profile, her fashion brand has not been a business success. In 2018 the label was losing £4,000 a day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/victoria-beckhams-fashion-label-loses-4-000-a-day-82hdd59p8?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhtrXhPPL-wIVDrbtCh23tACHEAMYASAAEgK4vvD_BwE|title=Victoria Beckham's fashion label loses £4,000 a day|website=The Times|last=Ramzan|first=Iram|date=16 September 2018|access-date=26 November 2022}}</ref> In November 2019, the BBC reported that "Victoria Beckham's fashion business has posted another annual loss as demand for the former Spice Girl's high end clothes "plateaued". Victoria Beckham Limited, which has not made a profit since it launched in 2008, reported a loss of £12.3m for 2018. Sales slipped 16% to £35m, amid weaker wholesale demand. Chairman Ralph Toledano said sales of clothing and accessories had levelled off after years of growth. "The performance was in line with expectations, so we were not surprised. Our goal is to reach profitability as soon as possible," he told trade journal Business of Fashion. "Mrs Beckham launched her label in 2008 with a collection of luxury dresses, and now sells fashion and accessories in more than 400 stores around the world."
