She's one-half of one of the most famous couples in the world, has conquered the music world as part of the Spice Girl, and has now done the same with fashion.

And while she's succeeded in creating her own fashion empire, Victoria Beckham has revealed it's hard raising four children and insisted she won't be trying for a fifth.

The 42-year-old designer explained it can be a struggle having four at such different ages, and often feels 'guilty' because her exhausting work schedule can infringe on family time.

Post-show family brunch at Balthazar seems to be something of a New York Fashion Week tradition for the Beckhams. And of course it gives Victoria the opportunity to model another outfit from her brand new collection!

The former Spice Girl has come a long way since her early days of designing, and the SS17 line she showed today featured velvet, pleats, pretty pastel shades and floral prints. In fact, this matchy matchy lilac look features several of the themes we clocked on the runway!

After wearing a pair of statement trousers for the main event, VB teamed a textured floral print top with the coordinating midi skirt and the so-called Tissue bag from the new line. We love the distinctive print, as well as the flattering length of the sleeves and skirt.

'You feel guilty if you're missing something with the children': She also admitted that she found herself feeling guilty if she let work encroach on her time with David and her children.

'You feel guilty if you're missing something with the children,' She explained.

And it seems that this view sees the designer hiding away when taking emails and work calls, as she doesn't want her career and work to detract from family time.

Addressing her work and success in the fashion world with her own label, Victoria said that it's all been down to hard work and sustaining a second shot at success.

Though Victoria is never far away from her family, despite admitting the difficulties of being a working mum.

Over the weekend Brooklyn shared an adorable snap of himself and his mother on his Instagram account.

Summing up the Beckham broods' feelings towards their mother he simply captioned the black and white photo with a love heart.

Following a summer in Los Angeles where they own a house, the Beckhams have moved back to London where their children all attend school.
