Land Rover's tie-in with Victoria Beckham has still not been defined

Land Rover’s tie-in with Victoria Beckham is still being defined, according to well placed sources.

The former pop star is due to meet with the firm in the next few weeks to decide what role she’ll play in the Evoque programme.

Victoria Beckham was present at the launch of the Evoque which took place at Kensington Palace in London and Land Rover announced that she was part of the ‘design team’.

Land Rover sources revealed at the time that the company wants to vastly increase its appeal to female customers and is aiming for a 50/50 split between male and female buyers.

It’s thought that the former Spice Girl’s deal will add up to around 28 days of Land Rover consultancy per year, and that the idea of a collaboration was instigated by her, not Land Rover.

The Evoque will be built at Jaguar Land Rover’s Halewood plant on Merseyside with 80 per cent of production destined for export. A five-door variant of the car is also under development.

Although it didn't exactly set the runway on fire. She's actually had quite a big hand in the design of this collection, and she's very fashion aware, in an Iti-Wag-chic way.

As far as Evoque goes, I'm thinking there might be some sort of limited edition on the way, perhaps with a touch of pink somewhere?

As has been said, it's all about 'name' and rightly or wrongly there are those in the world who will fork out a lot of money to be seen in this season's "right"...
