Following in Victoria Beckham's Footsteps
If the reports are true, Harper will be following a path already paved by her mother, who launched Victoria Beckham Beauty in 2019 after establishing herself as a successful fashion designer.
Victoria is reportedly helping Harper navigate the competitive beauty industry while sharing lessons she's learned from building her own fashion and beauty empire.
The former Spice Girls star has been open about the challenges she faced after transitioning from music into fashion.
Victoria Has Spoken Openly About Her Career Struggles
In her Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, the designer reflected on how intimidating it was to enter an industry where many people questioned whether she belonged.
"When I first started this fashion business, 18 years ago, I didn't know a lot about the industry. I was scared. I was scared because I loved fashion and it was always my dream, but I knew what people thought. 'She was a pop star, she's married to a footballer. Who does she think she is?'"
Victoria also acknowledged that her business endured years of setbacks before finding its footing.
"The public has read how much my business has struggled over the years and the headlines that I've had. And that's fact, the business has struggled, so I've talked a lot about that (here) but I've fixed those problems now and it's taken a long time.
"We've restructured the business, and for all of these reasons, now is the time to tell my story."
She explained that she has spent years working to move beyond the public perception created during her Spice Girls days.
"I have been so defined by when I was in the Spice Girls, which was only a four-year period in my life, whereas fashion I've been in for coming up to two decades.

Victoria added that earning credibility in the industry has taken years of dedication.
"I've now earned my place in this industry, and I have to work hard to maintain that. The other reason is I love this industry, so if I can use my voice to shine a light on the incredible talents, passion, hard work and just how multifaceted it is, then that's great."
If Harper's reported beauty venture comes to fruition, she'll be launching her brand with guidance from someone who has firsthand experience turning skepticism into success.
