Victoria Beckham's 'cheap' jeans June 21, 2007
Victoria Beckham's new range of jeans have been branded "cheap" by her former fashion colleague.
Rock and Republic's UK distributor, Robert de Keyser of Dekeyser Fashions, has slammed her latest designs, claiming they're over-priced.
Keyser, who sold Victoria's Rock and Republic designs in Britain, said of her DVB jeans line: "The new Victoria Beckham range appears to be seriously over-priced for a line made, unlike other premium denims, in China out of a cheap fabric.
"Whatever Victoria learned from Rock and Republic appears to have been lost."
However, a source close to the mother-of-three refutes his claims, saying: "Early samples were made in China but the main range is made in Canada. They are a must-have designer item and the materials and methods used to make them reflect that."
Victoria, whose new jeans cost £125 a pair, ended her association with Rock and Republic last year under a cloud of controversy.
The company were said to be furious after she quit and wouldn't let her use the embroidered crown logo sewn on the pockets of the denim range.
Victoria, 33, refuses to be drawn into the row and said she respects Rock and Republic.
Her spokesman said: "Victoria had a happy working relationship with Rock and Republic and she's not going to start being negative about them now."

Posh was Dumped by Rock & Republic[/size] June 18, 2007
Victoria Beckham may be “so excited” about the new denim line, dVb, that she debuted recently at Saks Fifth Avenue, but it seems that the last fashion venture didn't go so smoothly.
A source close to Rock & Republic, under which Posh sells her line of jeans, reveals that she was so ‘horrible’ to work with that the partnership between the label and her has been shelved.
"The partnership with Rock & Republic was terminated," the New York Daily News quoted the source, as saying.
As for why the label has had enough with her, well it seems that’s because she’s not only ‘indecisive and inconsistent’, but also doesn’t want to work though she wants the credit.
"Victoria was horrible to work with - indecisive and inconsistent and generally not present at all. She attached her name to it but didn't want to do any of the work - unless she was promoting the line in front of the cameras, of course," the source added.
Posh’s association with Rock & Republic started in 2004, when she designed a fashion line for them called 'VB Rocks,' consisting mainly of jeans for the high end of the market. (ANI)
