Victoria Beckham talks baby weight loss, cravings and the cat dress

Victoria Beckham has revealed that she worked out for seven days a week and "ate super healthy" to shift her pregnancy weight in time for her SS12 show at New York Fashion Week earlier this year.

The designer - whose eponymous label was recently crowned Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards - showed off her new collection to the fashion industry in October just three months after daughter, Harper Seven was born.

Speaking in Elle's January issue, Victoria admitted that she had to work hard to lose the baby weight. She said: "Oh, listen, I worked at it. I was breast-feeding, so I ate super-healthy, and I worked out seven days a week.

"I wanted to burn all my leggings - I was adamant that by the time I went to fashion week I would be able to wear clothes."

She also told the magazine about her crazy pregnancy cravings.

"When I was pregnant, I wanted to get lots of animals for some reason", the mum-of-four said. "We talked about cats, but David said absolutely not." 

Maybe that's why she designed the cat print dress which Katy Perry wore on American television last week?

Victoria also admitted that she was embarrassed that friend and fellow designer, Marc Jacobs was the last to know she was designing a debut collection way back in 2008.
 
"We went out for dinner one night, and he said: 'I saw that you put out a collection.' I felt so embarrassed that I - me, ex-Spice Girl, married to a footballer was creating a fashion line", Victoria said.

Well we're glad she did.
