New mom says she loves fashion too much to ever dress down in public

Coming from the woman who once said she wouldn't be caught dead in sneakers, hearing that Victoria Beckham loves fashion so much she wouldn't even dream of stepping out in public in a tracksuit isn't even that surprising.

In an interview with the latest issue of the French magazine Madame Figaro, the fashion designer and new mom gushes about her love of all things fashion – and how she'd never compromise that by wearing the wrong outfit in public (quotes via the Daily Mail).

Indeed, her fans must know that she's rarely, if ever, photographed looking anything but trendy. Victoria once said she treats even the airport as her own personal runway.

“You’ll never see me on the street in a tracksuit. I just love fashion too much to wear a tracksuit! The same goes for Ugg boots. I only wear them only at home,” the star says for the magazine.

While she's often seen in her own designs, which include very sophisticated and body hugging dresses, Victoria claims to be the biggest fan of Prada ever to walk the earth.

“I’m addicted to Prada, to cardigans and bags Hermes… I’d love to see the world through the eyes of Miuccia Prada! The woman is a genius,” she says.

“Her vision is of ultra-intelligent fashion. Each season, she creates something new, she knows how to surprise,” Victoria adds.

She's also a fan of the Net-a-Porter website, which, she says, offers her the chance to peruse the works of other designers at any hour of the day or night.

“I am a big fan of Net-A-Porter.com. When the kids are asleep, I can travel on this site for several hours. I like the idea of quietly shopping at home for clothes and returning them if it don’t work. This is absolute freedom,” Victoria says.

Asked by the same publication who she'd like to dress, Mrs. Beckham aims high: Tilda Swinton, the androgynous actress who can rock the most bizarre and beautiful haute couture pieces out there.
