Victoria Beckham Competes With Herself 

Victoria Beckham says her only competitor is herself.

The former Spice Girls singer has established herself as a successful fashion designer and while she admires the work of others, she insists she doesn't see them as competition.

She said: "It's my passion, what I always wanted to do. I have found an area I can compete in, in my own little way. I'm just starting. I have a long way to go and I know that. I have so much respect for the great designers, people like Miuccia Prada. I'm in awe of what she does. But I don't think I'm competing with her or anyone else. My only competition is myself and my collection from the season before."

Victoria - who has four children, Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, Cruz, seven, and one-year-old Harper, with soccer star husband David - says she never set out to be a huge business brand and just designed clothes because she enjoyed it.

         She told British Airways' business: life magazine: "I didn't set out to create a big brand or business. I      just set out to design, to have a creative outlet. It's what I like to do. I love fashion. It's my hobby  that's turned into a successful business. Of course I have to work hard at it. I'm up early and most of the night as well."

Rihanna Compares Fashion To Her Love Life

Rihanna Compares

Fashion To Her Love Life

Rihanna is a self-proclaimed rebel in most every area of her life — except for one.

 “[I'm] rebellious through my music, through my fashion, tattoos, and my hair,” the superstar tells the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar.But she also spills: “I have been conservative in my love life… it’s pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I’ll hang out. But the minute I find that we’re getting too close I just — I don’t let people in.”The Barbadian beauty, who covers the magazine’s newsstand’s edition (left) in a white silk Calvin Klein Collection dress paired with a gold chain-linked Neil Lane bracelet, also reveals how hurt she’s felt in previous relationships.

                                “When I was in love, I fell so hard…The way it made me feel was priceless,” she      admits. “And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I’d feel that pain in my life. I’m afraid of feeling that again.”

 Although the star is cautious when it comes to matters of the heart, she’s once again proven via the magazine’s subscriber edition (below) that she’s very comfortable taking fashion risks. On the second cover she rocks a gold long-sleeve gown and knee-high snakeskin boots (both by Tom Ford).

And while it seems Rihanna is generally content (and really, who wouldn’t be in those killer snakeskin boots?!), there is something she says she’s missing. “I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it’s not living up to its full potential right now.”
