Corsets go global thanks to Posh
September 6, 2007
Victoria Beckham's much famed corset look has inspired Jennifer Lopez, Indian designers and is now set to reach the Chinese.
It has been reported that Jennifer Lopez takes fashion tips from corset fan Posh Spice. "It's true, we're two friends who share that passion," J-Lo confirmed. "A while ago she came to my house to help me pick a dress for the Golden Globes. We had a great time and in the end we agreed on the black gown I wore. It was the best choice."
Meanwhile as Indian Fashion Week began in New Delhi, corsets and long satin dresses were on show on the catwalks, as Indian designers admitted they drew inspiration from Victoria Beckham.
Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra said they designed their showcase based on what they thought Victoria Beckham might wear while walking through the ancient city of Varanasi on her way to a champagne party.
And the next country about to get in on Posh's corset look could be China, as book publishers Penguin China confirmed that Victoria's style guide, entitled That Extra Half an Inch, will be available in China by the end of this year.
