Sewing Bee judge blasts Beckhams

FROM the ubiquitous Beckhams to Kate Moss’s 14-year-old daughter Lila Grace, the toxic trend of celebrity offspring nabbing fashion’s top jobs is too much for Savile Row designer Patrick Grant.

‘I would never use one of the Beckhams’ kids because I think my customers would think that was deeply uncool; I think it’s deeply uncool,’ says Grant, 45, a judge on the BBC’s Great British Sewing Bee.

‘Brooklyn and Romeo walked into their Burberry jobs, while professionals are overlooked. I don’t support that.’

Speaking at the book launch for I Actually Wore This by Tom Coleman, hosted at Grant’s E.Tautz store in Mayfair, he adds: ‘It’s deeply disingenuous, the whole thing, and most people with a brain can see through it.’
