Description
Deliberately misleading, Queen Victoria contrasts the dour reputation of Queen Victoria I with the entrepreneurial celebrity, Victoria Beckham. Beckham has experienced a evolution in how she is perceived by the public; from singer and wife of David Beckham, to respected fashion designer and icon in her own right. Her regal sash intertwines with scenes of religious imagery containing skeletons and darkness, encouraging the viewer to consider the depth behind the glossy and frivolous façade of celebrity. Victoria’s outfit exemplifies the best of British fashion design, with the use of butterflies and designer branding enhancing her own position with the world of luxury.
