The 40-year-old designer, who is married to football legend David Beckham, said she faced a struggle to prove herself in the fashion industry after initially rising to prominence for her pop career, reported Daily Mirror.
&ldquo;For a long time there, I was a bit of a laughing stock. And while everybody was busy laughing, what was I doing? I was laying the foundation to what I have in place now,&rdquo; Beckham said.
&ldquo;Everybody said, &lsquo;Well it&rsquo;s never going to work because a celebrity can&rsquo;t do a line (but because) everyone thought it was going to be rubbish (it took) the pressure off a little bit. I didn&rsquo;t go into this to prove anything to anybody other than myself,&rdquo; she added.
She added, &ldquo;I like to keep my head down, work hard, focus on what I&rsquo;m doing business-wise. I like to try and control how much I&rsquo;m seen. I don&rsquo;t want to go out and be photographed every day.&rdquo;&nbsp;The mother of four made her debut at the New York Fashion Week in 2008.
