New
York
(ANI):
Denim
is
certainly
blue
for
Victoria
Beckham,
literally
so,
as
on
one
hand
she
is
dealing
with
a
lawsuit
with
an
old
denim
label
she
once
endorsed,
while
on
the
other
she
is
facing
slumping
sales
with
a
newly
endorsed
label.
According
to
reports
published
Sunday
in
Britain's
Daily
Mail
newspaper,
trendy
Posh
Spice
has
claimed
that
popular
denim
brand
Rock&Republic
owes
her
a
whopping
100
million
dollars
after
she
split
with
the
company.
Beckham
was
roped
in
for
endorsing
the
brand
when
in
2004
they
launched
a
pair
of
denims
bearing
a
distinctive
crown
emblem
on
the
back
pockets,
which
were
sold
for
around
300
dollars
a
piece.
"She
not
only
understands
fashion
and
trends
but
has
been
a
trend-setter
and
fashion
icon
for
years," The
New
York
Daily
quoted
Rock&Republic
designer
and
owner
Michael
Ball,
as
saying
at
the
time.
The
partnership,
which
seemed
all
hunky
dory
in
the
beginning,
soured
later,
as
Posh
could
not
devote
much
of
her
time
in
the
line's
promotion.
This
led
the
Spice
Girl
to
formally
part
ways
with
the
brand
in
2006,
which
further
led
to
the
rumours
of
an
impending
suit.
While
Rock&Republic
has
still
not
been
served
with
the
claim,
but
Posh
has
alleged
in
the
suit
that
she
is
owed
the
payout
because
the
jeans
churned
out
more
profits
than
previously
thought.
This
lawsuit
comes
close
in
line
with
the
buzz
that
her
current
jeans
venture,
dVb
denim,
is
being
dropped
by
retailers
like
swanky
L.A.
boutiques
Kitson
and
Fred
Segal,
owing
to
low
sales.
And
again
it
has
been
claimed
that
the
line
is
not
faring
well
in
the
retail
circuit
because
of
Beckham.
