Victoria Beckham has launched her first official Twitter account. The fashion designer and former Spice Girl joined the social networking site yesterday ahead of showcasing her new collection at Fashion Week in New York.
"There have been so many people claiming to tweet as me I thought it was time for me to 'tweet up'," she told E! Online's Marc Malkin.
"I thought it would fun for people to see firsthand an inside look at my experiences during Fashion Week."
Her first tweet read: "Finally!! Leaving for UK tomorrow 'Airport is my runway!!' Can't wait for fashion week! In love and light x VB. (sic)"
She also revealed that she is "honoured" that her label has been shortlisted by the British Fashion Council for its 'Designer Brand Of The Year' prize.
Beckham was welcomed to the network by friends including Eva Longoria and Ryan Seacrest, who wished her son Romeo a "happy belated birthday" and asked what she had treated him to. She replied that they enjoyed an "amazing lazer tag" party and "had so much fun".
