| Event :October 10th, 2007 : Victoria launched her dVb denim line in Harrods Store, London, UK : Victoria Beckham may have infamously spent this week in Paris but she made her presence felt in the UK on Wednesday, as Harrods opened a concession dedicated to her dVb denim line. "As the creative director of dVb I wanted to encapsulate all I have learnt over the past years, both from the experience I gained whilst designing signature ranges and from a consumer's perspective as, like many women, I have been buying denim for years and feel confident that I know what makes a great pair," the Posh one said.
"I'm delighted and excited to have the first dVb concession open in Harrods. It is a wonderful store with international appeal while retaining it's strong English heritage, and it is its intrinsic link to London that offers such an intimacy to dvb opening there. "we had that day pix of her leaving Geri's house & these : Maybe they are the ones of when she was leaving Harrods store. | |

Interview with Bob Silver (Western Glove President)
P.S : The parts about Victoria are in purple.
From granola to Posh and publishing by Gordon Pitts
October 1, 2007
Bob Silver :
Title : President, Western Glove Works Ltd., Winnipeg
Born : Nov. 6, 1949, in Winnipeg
Education : BA, mathematics, University of Manitoba
Career highlights:
Early job : Statistician for respiratory research, Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre.
1981 : Part of a group, including his brother Michael, that buys the family company, Western Glove Works; Bob Silver becomes president.
2001 : Along with partner Ron Stern, buys the Winnipeg Free Press and Brandon Sun from Thomson Corp.
May, 2002 : Newspaper assets go public, as FP Newspapers Income Fund.
Whatever happens in Winnipeg, Bob Silver seems to have a hand in it - as part-owner of the Free Press newspaper, venture capitalist, retailer, volunteer and president of 86-year-old Western Glove Works, the family garment company which, in addition to its Silver and 1921 brands, now makes jeans under the dVb brand of Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice). It's been quite a ride for a former hippie mathematician, who at 57 has not entirely lost his idealism.
You were a true child of the 1960s?
I was part of that generation that thought that the natural place to go was back to the land, back to nature and to become self-sufficient. I built a house in Edgewood, B.C., about 80 miles from Vernon. After going to university, and having no idea what I wanted to do, I thought this was a good way to become a real person. Then my father passed away [in 1973] and the dream changed.
Did you go through soul-searching?
I knew I had to come home for the funeral, and I intended to stay a few weeks. But there is that horrid word called responsibility. So my responsibility was to come back and help my great-uncle sell the family company, Western Glove Works - and then I would go back to living on the land.
What was the moment when you decided to become a filthy capitalist?
I found out you don't buy companies without management, and nobody was going to buy Western Glove unless I was willing to stay around for a period. Then, when I discovered I was being sold, I thought it would be proper to be part of the purchasing side, as well.
By that time, it was in my blood - the excitement, the aggravation, the anxiety. Profitability became a measurement of success and I've always been very competitive. So I started to compete. Before I knew it, nobody was going to buy it unless I stayed.
Do you have regrets?
No. I don't believe I could have done as well if I hadn't gone to B.C. The education of a couple of years on the land was unbelievable. If you didn't cut down a tree to get firewood, you froze, so the impetus to learn how to cut down a tree was quite strong. If you didn't grow food, you got hungry or you had to trade labour for food. This was how I educated myself on what my own abilities might be.
So you're the microcosm of our generation - from hippie to entrepreneur?
And I once lived in India for six months.

This was how I educated myself on what my own abilities might be.
So you're the microcosm of our generation - from hippie to entrepreneur?
And I once lived in India for six months.
So now it's all about doing business with Posh Spice?
She's actually a nice woman. She has a sense of humour, she has a heart. She's a good mother. But there are certain lessons you learn when you spend six months in India. There are certain lessons you learn when you live on a farm and you're freezing to death - about what's important and what isn't important.
It wouldn't do any harm for Posh to have some of those lessons. I would say that about society in general. We're different now - our expectations are quite different and quite unreal from a historical perspective.
Today, you get upset if you've got the wrong shoes, as opposed to starting with 'Do you have feet?' and there are lots of people without feet.
Were you always a newspaper guy?
No, I read them and was interested, but my partner Ron Stern was that kind of fellow. I was the guy who, when we talked about the Free Press purchase, said 'Sounds like a great idea. Can we make some money?'
And the answer was ...?
The answer was yes, we could make some money. It is a good business, but I was really naive about the importance of the newspaper to the people who work there and to the people of this community. Ron and I became the caretakers of their newspaper, rather than owning it.
What is the future of newspapers?
All newspapers are facing the same issues of relevance in the electronic society. I think there is a future, especially for a paper like the Free Press that can get out local news that isn't as readily available on electronics.
It's an independent in a land where independents are not often found. Our challenge is how we can grow the Free Press as a community media name, not just as a newspaper.
Is there a standing offer by Winnipeg's Aspers, who control CanWest Global, to buy the paper?
No. There is a standard conversation that everyone thinks they should be buying us. An offer has never been made. We've talked - it's never been serious. I'm a partner with Leonard [Asper] in a private equity company, and Leonard's got some other issues in front of him for now.
Some Winnipeggers say this city is determined to demolish vestiges of its past, like the old downtown Eaton's store - whose site is now a hockey arena.
As Winnipeggers, we're experts at everything and it's sometimes difficult to go forward as easily as communities like Calgary, where they say just 'do it.' But Winnipeg is far more introspective about the ramifications of doing it, and going forward isn't always considered the right thing to do.
So Winnipeg has to get beyond that?
Oh, in a big way. We're introspective sometimes almost to the point of paralysis. I don't think we should become a society that develops à la Houston or Dallas, with no thought of what that does. But I think we have to be more aggressive in accepting that things change.
One change is the bulk of your jeans manufacturing is now done in Asia. Can you keep making even some high-end jeans here?
If you look at it strictly economically, it would be unlikely. But there may be other rationales for keeping it here, such as just-in-time delivery or test marketing. Another reason: Having been manufacturers has made us much better importers than we would have been otherwise. We bring an expertise to the table that others don't have. There is a huge reluctance to lose that forever.
Your work force here has shrunk to just over 200 from 1,200 in seven years. Besides the small manufacturing group, what do people do?
In Winnipeg, we do design, marketing, merchandising, logistics, and distribution, but some of those functions are also going to shift to the Far East.
This is all a matter of equilibrium. China is following the pattern of Japan, and at some point China will not be an export nation to the same degree it is today.
So is there nothing we can do about Canada's manufacturing crisis?
If we define it as a crisis, we probably do it a disservice. I think it is always in transition. And if you are not attuned to the factors that are proper in that transition, you're going to get transitioned yourself.
It's an evolution and it's natural.
The Free Press is an income trust, but I haven't heard you denounce Ottawa's moves to kill these structures.
I haven't made any statements, and I'm not about to. The interesting thing is whether being public is something that I would want to do again.
It changes the way you do business, and it changes some of your emphasis.
I don't think I would go public again. I'm not sure all the gains were worth it - although that is probably more a reflection of our personalities than it is on the market itself.

| Wednesday, 21 November 2007 dVb Opens Its First Ever Concession At Harrods
Be one of the first customers to get your hands on a pair of the new dVb jeans at the first ever dVb concession. The concession which recently opened at Harrods is currently dedicated to Victoria's dVb denim line but will look to stock exclusive styles of her eyewear in the near future too.
Speaking about the opening Victoria says: "I'm delighted to have the first dVb concession open in Harrods. It is a wonderful store that has such international appeal while retaining its strong English heritage. It's also so intrinsically linked to London there is an intimacy to dVb opening there." by dvbstyle.com | |

| Wednesday, 21 November 2007 Holiday dVb Denim Collection Instore Now
Don't miss out on treating yourself to an early Xmas present as the new collection from dVb drops in-store this month. The dVb holiday collection builds on the capsule denim offer of autumn/winter, allowing you to negotiate the tricky trans seasonal stage with an exciting injection of colour and different fabrics for the party season!
The dVb capsule collection carried the perfect skinny, straight and bootcut styles. These pieces carry over but Victoria was keen to further develop the line introducing more trend led, seasonal pieces while keeping the Star and dVb signature back pocket designs.
The main addition is the emergence of strong colour and sateen finishes. Bright reds and electric blues offer an irreverent change from classic washes. Sparkle styles in grey and black work a street style while high waist wide legs perfectly encompass emerging trends with a knowing nod to the seventies.
As always with dVb, the key is the great cut along with detailed design features that ensure an elegant and elongated silhouette, all working to form the backbone of any modern womans' wardrobe. | |

| She's Posh, whatever she wears
January 24, 2008
Victoria Beckham, perhaps better known as Posh Spice or Mrs. David Beckham, is just a few hours from show time. It's the last night of the Spice Girls' two-week concert run in London, part of a reunion tour that arrives in Boston next week. But Beckham, who purloined Vogue editrix Anna Wintour's trademark bob, oversize sunglasses, and pout for her own fashionable gain, is more interested in chatting about shopping than "Spice World."
"We help each other out when it comes to clothes," she says of her soccer-star husband, who last year landed a $250 million contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy. "And we shop for each other as well. Just don't tell his teammates."
A staple at fashion shows in New York and Paris, Beckham appeared in ads for designer Marc Jacobs, graced the cover of this month's Elle, has written a book of fashion tips ("That Extra Half an Inch"), and is designing her own dVb line of denim (below left) and sunglasses. Beckham will greet fans at Saks Fifth Avenue on Wednesday at noon and chat about her jeans. We dialed her up in advance to query her about Katie Holmes and past Spice Girls fashion atrocities. - CHRISTOPHER MUTHER
When I see you in paparazzi pictures, it seems like you're usually wearing Dior or Cavalli instead of jeans, so I'm wondering where the interest in denim comes from?
To be honest with you, I've been photographed in lots in jeans. I love fashion, from jeans to couture to nice day dresses. I couldn't find a good pair of jeans. I was very specific about what I wanted, and I couldn't find it, which is why I decided to go into making jeans.
How involved are you in the design of the denim and the glasses for dVb?
I'm very involved right from the start. There's not a button or a rivet that goes on a pair of jeans that I haven't seen or approved. I test everything on myself. I don't just put my name on things. I pick all the denim myself. For me, that's fun. That's why I'm doing this.
I thought you were doing it because you needed the money. I heard David's soccer contract wasn't very lucrative, and you're not making much from the reunion tour.
(Laughs.) Listen, if that were true, I'd be selling it in a lot more stores. That's been the great thing about the position that I'm in. I haven't had to sell out. For me, it's so exciting. We're in the best stores in the world.
Will you eventually introduce other lines, such as your own ready-to-wear line?
Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'm just putting a team of people together now. So it will be my main project when I finish this tour in a month's time.
On the current tour, all the girls do a solo number, but you stroll the catwalk instead of singing. Was it your decision to emphasize fashion over music?
I've had solo records that have been very successful, but I'm not in the music industry anymore. I'm in the fashion industry. I was very nervous about going back into the Spice Girls, because I didn't want to send out a confused message. The reason I decided to do this tour was to show my kids that mummy was a pop star once. It's the last opportunity that there will be to see the Spice Girls together.
Ever since you and Katie Holmes became friends she has started dressing like more of an adult and less like Joey from the Creek. Is that your influence?
Katie and I have hung out, we've been shopping together, and we've been to fashion shows together. Katie has a fantastic sense of style. I don't think I particularly influenced her.
Is there a particular outfit from your Spice years that you look back on and just kind of cringe?
I like to think it was all good at the time. But I'll look at the makeup and think 'My God, look at all that bloody makeup' or 'Look at that hair.' So I'll cringe a little bit. When I look back on all those pictures, I realize that's what made me who I am now. I'm proud of that.
