朱文萱趁Victoria Beckham於全球推出全新彩妝系列之際，往北京與她會面

Iam sitting in a suite at The Opposite House, Beijing, waiting for Victoria Beckham to arrive. She’s in the Chinese capital to launch her second makeup collection with Estée Lauder, and I’m grabbing her before she is due to appear at Beijing’s Hanguang Mall to officially launch the line in China.

For Beckham, the makeup is new. Since starting her eponymous fashion line in 2008, Beckham has won acclaim for her razor-sharp collections. Then last year, she turned to makeup (with industry behemoth Estée Lauder), creating a range inspired by her favourite cities around the world: London, Paris, New York and LA. This year, Miami’s been added. The range launched worldwide last month.

The fashion designer (and mum, ex-Spice

Girl and footballer’s wife) drifts into the white, minimalist suite while I’m chatting to Estée Lauder’s global partnerships lead, Sarah Creal, about new collaborations. Beckham is small and speaks softly: her ‘hello everybody’ goes almost unheard. But her presence, trussed in signature VB couture and flawless makeup (naturally) is undeniable.

我坐在北京舍一個酒店套房內，等候Victoria Beckham大駕。光臨她不遠千里來到北京，是為了在中國宣傳她與雅詩蘭黛合作的第二個彩妝系列。就在她前往北京漢光百貨出席正式發佈會之前，我抓緊這個機會訪問她。

對於Victoria來說，化妝品是一門全新的。事業她在2008年推出用自己名字命名的服裝品牌，以俐落的剪裁風格而備受讚譽。去年Victoria轉攻彩妝界，並與業界的龍頭雅詩蘭黛合作，以她最喜歡的市靈城 為感，推出彩妝系：列 括倫敦、巴黎、紐約和洛杉磯；今年更加入了邁阿密。這彩妝系月列上 已在全球推出。

當我與雅詩蘭黛的全球夥伴計劃主管Sarah Creal暢談這次新合作時，同時身兼母、親 前Spice Girl樂隊成員和著名球員妻子三重身份的時裝設計師Victoria出現了，身形嬌的小 她悄悄地閃身進入設計簡約的白色酒店套房，以輕柔得幾乎聽不見的聲音跟所有人打招呼。穿她身 自家品牌的級高 時裝，臉上的化妝理所當然地完美，儘無瑕 使她 管動作輕巧，卻依然引人注目。半個「碧咸品牌」就這樣坐在我身旁。她剛剛經由倫敦、香港和上海飛到北京，時差反應還未。消退

這種情況已是司空見慣，今時今日各大機場往往就是Victoria的時裝天橋。

她說：「我經常外遊，每次上落機，總會有很多狗仔隊跟著出現。」假如你是Victoria Beckham，你
