Victoria Beckham's dream of gracing the cover of American Vogue may be about to become a reality.
The fashion bible’s editor, Anna Wintour, has revealed to me that she is a ‘big fan’ of the singer-turned-designer and that a cover shoot could be in the pipeline.
Victoria, 36, has already appeared on the cover of the British, Russian, German, Indian and, most recently, Turkish editions of Vogue.
Now it appears that years of trying to convince Wintour she is worthy of the coveted U.S. cover may be about to pay off for the former Posh Spice.
‘We’re big fans of Victoria so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that we will put her on the cover,’ Wintour told me while in the front row of Nicole Farhi’s London Fashion Week show.
However, Wintour – known as ‘Nuclear Wintour’ because of her legendary frostiness – would not be drawn on a date for a shoot.
Fashion insiders say she was impressed with Victoria’s latest dress collection which she showed at New York Fashion Week. Wintour was quoted afterwards as saying: ‘Don’t under estimate her.’
Victoria went up in Wintour’s estimation after she had her implanted breasts reduced – taking her from a busty 34DD to a more fashionable B cup. Wintour had described the implants as ‘ridiculous’.
News of the possible Vogue shoot comes at the end of a difficult week for Victoria. Prostitute Irma Nici claimed in a U.S. magazine she slept with her husband David in 2007, an allegation the footballer strenuously denies.
On a lighter note, Wintour also let slip that Vogue’s European editor Hamish Bowles does an excellent impression of Victoria.
‘It is spot-on. Ask him to do it!’ she urged me. Sadly, Mr Bowles declined to give a rendition.
Wintour kept waiting...
It takes a brave man to keep Anna Wintour waiting, but Detmar Blow, widower of style icon Isabella, did just that at London’s exclusive nightclub Annabel’s last week.
Wintour was left twiddling her thumbs when Detmar arrived more than half an hour late to launch his book, Blow By Blow, about his wife, who committed suicide in 2007.
There was further embarrassment when the manager had to waive the incredibly strict dress code for some of the group whose clothes were too ‘eccentric’.
‘All guests breaking the rules were ushered quietly through to a private room, and informed that under no circumstances were they allowed to go to the dancefloor or mingle with members,’ says a spy.
