Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham is set to bare all for fashion designer Marc Jacobs in a new T-shirt range for his skin cancer charity.
But for Jacobs, 44, it didn’t come easy. He had to do some convincing to get Victoria, 33, to agree to strip for his 2008 Spring/Summer collection. A source close to ‘Posh Spice’ said:
“Victoria loves Marc’s work but she wasn’t entirely comfortable with getting naked.
“Marc went all-out to persuade her. And when she heard about what a great cause it was she knew she just couldn’t turn it down. The picture she and Marc have chosen is amazing - sexy but tasteful.”
As could be expected, this is not the first time Jacobs is getting a celebrity to get naked–Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Naomi Campbell all got naked for his T-shirts in 2006, which reportedly raised about $60,000 for the skin cancer charity. That Victoria’s raunchy pose will take this year’s higher should be safe bet, since the T-shirts are expected to sell for $20 each in Marc’s stores. (The 2006 line of T-shirts sold in the designer’s stores for just $5.)
Considered a fashion icon herself, Victoria is a fan of Jacobs’ creations. Recently the British pop superstar was seen at the Victoria’s Secret fashion wearing a Marc Jacobs creation to the pink carpet.
Dakota Fanning, Meg White and Michael Stipe are some of the other celebrities who have endorsed the Marc Jacobs label in the past.
Meanwhile, Victoria and her fellow Spice Girls – Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm - are set to kick off their reunion tour in Vancouver, Canada tomorrow.
