David's designs given the boot by Spice Girls
October 17, 2007
Sporty Spice Melanie Chisholm has said that corset fan Victoria Beckham has been "very instrumental" in creating the look for the Spice Girls' forthcoming world comeback tour.
However, despite the fact that Posh Spice initially said she wanted to get her husband involved in the creation of individual costumes, Mel C revealed that they have passed David Beckham over in favour of a designer friend.
She said: "No disrespect to David - he's always very well turned out."
Sporty Spice added: "The costumes are going to be magnificent. Victoria has been very instrumental in making this happen for us. We want to have the same energy and magic that we had but move it on, evolve. Bigger, better, Spice Girls."
The 33-year-old also told reporters that the group have hired fellow corset fan Madonna's creative director, Jamie King, to work on the concerts. "The staging, the lighting, the choreography, everything about this show is going to be extraordinary," she said.
Meanwhile, it seems Mel could take a fashion tip from fellow bandmate Victoria and wear a cleavage-enhancing corset, as she recently revealed on radio that she is trying to achieve a bigger bust.
Speaking on Radio One, Sporty Spice confessed that she would consider eating biscuits, called F-Cup Cookies, which are supposed to augment breast size through their herbal content.
She said: "I'll be a guinea-pig for them. Can you imagine if my boobs got bigger suddenly? That'd be great!"
