In the series, Victoria opens her soul and talks about her musical career, family life, struggles for reinventing and preparations for an important show at Paris Fashion Week. The documentary also includes interventions of famous friends, such as Eva Longoria, but also prominent figures from the fashion world, including Dame Anna Wintour and Donatella Versace.
Image and weight pressure
Even though it reached a huge level of fame with Spice Girls, Victoria admits that, at school, it was “that unpopular child ” and the target of bullying. “I was definitely a lonely at school”, She confesses, according to the BBC.
The criticisms of his appearance and weight started from an early age and intensified after joining the band Spice Girls in 1994, when the press frequently wrote negative articles on the way it looked. “We control (the narrative) in an incredibly unhealthy way. When you have a food disorder, you become very good at lying ”explains Victoria.
She adds: “And I was never very sincere about this with my parents. I never talked public about it. It really affects you when you are constantly told that you are not good enough. And, I guess, that followed me all my life”.
The support of colleagues and message to his daughter
Victoria emphasizes that the support of her band colleagues, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell, was essential to regain her confidence. “They made me feel cheerful, funnier, safer. They made me believe that I am enough as I am. “
The same message sends him to his daughter, Harper, 14 years old: “I tell Harper every day: be yourself ”, says Victoria.
