Cinderella, Dress for Success! by Dr. Carmen Lynne
In the phenomenal bestselling book by Victoria Beckham, “That Extra Half An Inch!” Victoria shares the dramatic situation surrounding her introduction to the world of fashion! Within this account she illustrates the need to dress appropriately for the occasion!
The Spice Girls had been preparing for six weeks in the south of France for their first ever stadium show. In the midst of their tight schedule, Victoria reveals that she was suddenly invited to her first ever fashion show in, of all places, Milan!
Finding herself on the front row of one of the most prestigious catwalk shows in the world, she states, “…the world felt as magical (and unlikely) as Cinderella finding herself at the ball.”
Her fairy godmother was, none other than, Donatella Versace, who had also invited her to the party afterwards. Then, to stay the night at her outstanding palazzo on Lake Como.
Victoria commented about the situation, “Of course, Cinderella Spice could hardly turn up in her little black Miss Selfridge dress…”
As fate would have it, Donatella had thought of everything. Victoria was escorted to the Versace shop and given the instruction that “I could choose whatever I wanted.”
Victoria concluded about the event, “…this was the first time I had ever been that close to the fashion world, and it was like the fuse of a firework had been lit.”
We may not have the same story to tell as former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham. However, it is my wish for each of you to develop a greater desire for fashion and a passion to dress for success! Why? Dressing for success will give each of us greater confidence, contacts and crowds, leading to broader opportunities and richer life experiences!
