Fashion has no mercy

Trouble at the trouser interface for Victoria Beckham - not only have Rock and Republic canned her contract to sell Beckham-branded jeans (they said she was "horrible to work with - indecisive and inconsistent", apparently) but they're now sarking over current pants range:

Robert de Keyser - who sold Beckham's last range of denim for label Rock + Republic in the UK - claims her new jeans are massively overpriced. He says, "The new Beckham range appears to be seriously overpriced for a line made out of a cheap fabric."

And if anyone knows about charging seriously overpriced amounts for bogstandard trousers, we'd hazard a company which charges three hundred dollars for a pair of jeans would be it.
