arena. As part of his contract with LA Galaxy he was given the right to own
an MLS franchise.
In September 2014, Victoria expanded her fashion empire when she opened a
flagship shop in London’s Dover Street. Her next ready-to-wear collection
will be presented during New York Fashion Week in February.
