I remember when [Victoria Beckham](https://time.com/7324827/victoria-beckham-netflix-documentary/) first showed _Vogue_ one of her earliest collections, not long after her Spice Girls days. I’d already met her backstage at Madison Square Garden with my children, but fashion designer was a new identity for her then. I was expecting a rack of dresses and maybe a brief hello, followed by a quick disappearance. But she stayed and talked us through every look. I was struck by how intent she was on putting her work out there. Even established designers aren’t comfortable doing that.

That’s the Victoria I’ve come to know, a designer who is as fearless as she is gifted. When she was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture in January, my first thought was that the recognition was overdue. She stepped into fashion in 2008 and hasn’t stopped since, adding a beauty line and fragrances. She’s also become something of a Netflix star, alongside her husband.

Victoria may have been in the public eye for most of her life, but it’s her family that means the most to her.
