Victoria Beckham may love America, but Los Angeles just isn’t her thing. That’s right, Victoria is moving her fashionable family across the country to our homebase of New York. Maybe she’ll even hang out at the Styleite office and order in Indian food with us!
David currently plays soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy, which is why the Beckhams moved to the States in the first place. Alas, Victoria is now a serious designer, so California just won’t suffice: “My work is so important to me and LA just isn’t a real fashion city.” We can’t disagree with that, but we also may be a little biased.
We thought New York might be in the family’s plans when Victoria told WWD that New York could be the location of her first store because “New York sounds quite fabulous.” In that same interview she gushed about how much she loved America: “We’ve loved it from the minute that we arrived, so we have no plans on going back to the U.K. at all.”
Though David will continue to play for the Galaxy (and stay at the family’s Beverly Hills manse when he has games), he’ll be based pretty far from his team. A source explains: ”Her friendship group in L.A. has disbanded and David was traveling a lot more than she’d anticipated and so was she. It just seemed to make sense for her to be based in fashion capital New York. It’s closer to London and Europe for her business meetings.”
*I find this extremely hard to believe. I highly doubt the Beckhams will make a move to NYC. They may purchase something there in the future as a place to stay while they are in the city, but both Victoria and David have professed their love of LA and I can't see them being anywhere else. Any opinons on this new rumor?
