VICTORIA Beckham is set to expand her business empire — she’s reportedly planning to start her own modeling agency.

The singer-turned fashion designer is apparently in talks with her manager Simon Fuller to set up a new business venture in New York.

“Simon knows that Victoria is very savvy when it comes to fashion,” a source said. “His first foray into fashion was to team up designer Roland Mouret and Victoria, which was a huge success.

“Victoria is a key asset to Simon and he wants her to take on a major role.”

Victoria, 35, recently opened up about her first ever fashion show, which left her feeling incredibly nervous.

“I felt beyond vulnerable,” she said. “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. I was very aware that people were expecting very short clothes, probably quite revealing, and I really went against that and showed the other side of me.”

“If you don’t believe in yourself,” Beckham concludes, “no one else will.

“I just want to learn as much as I can. I was always pushed into the theater and dance — it’s just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do.”
