Pop star-turned-fashion designer Victoria asks soccer star husband David Beckham for advice on her fashion range and says he is a particular fan of dresses.

Former Spice Girl, whose fashion range and dress designs are popular with celebrities including Elle Macpherson, Dannii Minogue and Heidi Klum, always shows David her new designs because he is a huge fan of "sexy" dresses, Harper Bazaar magazine reported.

"I show him the dresses. He's incredibly supportive - he finds the dresses sexy because they are leaving something to the imagination, as opposed to being overtly sexy," Victoria said.

Speaking about her recent appearance on the cover of the magazine, the 35-year-old star, who has sons Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, seven and, four-year-old Cruz, also admitted she wanted the photographs to turn out well so she could look back at them with pride when she is older.

"I didn't want to rely on retouching. I wanted to look at the pictures in 20 years' time and say, 'Wow, look – after three kids, I don't look bad.' I'm not a supermodel, I make the best out of what I was given and work hard," Victoria said.

"I felt vulnerable. I'd never known nerves like it in my life. The night before, I got nodules in my throat. I'd never felt such anxiety," she added.
