London, England - Victoria Beckham has been chosen as a judge for the Graduate Fashion Week competition in London this June. Beckham, a former Spice Girl, will be interviewing fashion students and judging their designs along with Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz, U.S.
Harper's Bazaar editor Glenda Bailey and fashion chain River Island's managing director, Richard Bradbury.
On June 7, 10 finalists will be competing for nearly $40,000, the highest amount of money awarded in British fashion education.
The Guardian quotes Terry Mansfield, chairman of Graduate Fashion Week, as saying of Beckham, "She has been involved in designing already and she is seen as a global fashion icon.
"There's no question that her presence will also help the students get more attention globally and if I have helped to get a couple of students a few more jobs then I haven't done such a bad thing."
