Victoria Beckham has revealed how her husband David bought a brand new Prada suit just to ‘impress her’ on their first date after she said she liked the brand.
The fashion designer, 50, opened up about the beginning of their relationship in an episode of the new documentary In Vogue: The 90s, which started streaming on Friday on Disney+.
Gushing about her love for designer clothes, she recalled: ‘Versace, Prada, and Gucci, they were my go-to designers. What was it they were getting right at the time? I suppose they really understood the power of celebrity.
‘The Italians embraced that. When I first met David in 1997 he’d heard that I was the Spice Girl that liked the designer clothes.’
The former Spice Girl told the camera: ‘So, after me going to a couple of football matches and I would say, you know, me sort of like, pursuing him, he’d probably say me stalking him, we arranged to go out on a date together.

‘He’s like, “I don’t know what to wear, she’s the one who likes designer clothes,” and so he actually went out and bought himself a full Prada look for our first date, to impress me.’
Laughing, she added: ‘Which it did, because it was Prada.’
Elsewhere in the highly-anticipated new documentary, Victoria revealed how she copied Linda Evangelista after becoming ‘completely obsessed’ with the supermodel.
She explained that she became so interested in the 90s icon that she went to the same salon Linda used and even emulated her haircut.
She said: ‘[Linda] was the reason why I cut my hair, the reason why I dyed my hair lots of different colours. I was in New York, and I went to Garren, who was Linda’s hairdresser.
‘When he cut all my hair off. I was channeling my inner Linda.’
In the revealing six-part series, more serious scenes saw Kate Moss opened up about the abuse she received by worried mothers.
The supermodel, 50, who became the poster girl for the trend in the Nineties, said that people would approach her in the street and accuse her of promoting eating disorders.

She told the Disney+ documentary: ‘Parents would come up to me and say, “My daughter’s anorexic”. It was awful.
‘I think because I was just skinny, and people weren’t used to seeing skinny. But if I’d been more buxom, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. It’s just that my body shape was different from the models before me.’
The documentary also speaks to former Vogue editors including Edward Enninful and celebrities such as supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
It also features designer Stella McCartney who revealed the advantage she had being the daughter of The Beatles star Paul.
Describing her graduation show from Central St Martin’s fashion school in London, Stella recalled: ‘All the other students were choosing their models, then they were getting their mates. I had mates, but my mates were the supermodels.
