All three are famed singers, but designer Roland Mouret thinks that Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga, and Kanye West have a lot more in common than just that.
When speaking with the Evening Standard, Mouret – who acted as Beckham’s mentor at the beginning of her fashion career – said that there’s something to be said for the undeniable star power of the trio.
[Beckham] is like Lady Gaga — she has one of the strongest powers in social media. Kanye West is the same. The person on the cover of Vogue is now driven by the number of Twitter followers she has — not how beautiful or clever she is.”
We were skeptical at first, but when it’s put like that it’s evident that Mouret has a point. The three artists have become powerhouses within their specific genre through a lot of hard work and self-promotion (in the most positive sense of the term).
Mouret even goes on to point out that Beckham has it down to a science, indicating that her preference to wear her own label rather than endorse other celebrities to wear it, proves that she has a firm grasp on just how powerful her image and brand truly are.
