VICTORIA BECKHAM - MURPHY GIVES BECKHAM'S STYLE THE THUMBS-UP

The years VICTORIA BECKHAM has devoted to fashion have finally earned her the title of style icon, according to stylish singer ROISIN MURPHY. The Overpowered singer - who was named the best dressed person of 2007 by British newspaper The Guardian - is a harsh fashion critic, but has hailed the Spice Girl's bold style choices. And Murphy believes Beckham's influence on the fashion industry will be a lasting one - but concedes she'll never make an impact on the "high brow" market. She tells WENN, "I think she's actually got her own style now. I think she's getting there with something that might last. I think she's at the point where she's made some or enough images that will actually stand some kind of test of time. "It'll never be high brow what she does. But it'll never be that normal either and I kinda like her for that. it's not that average either, it's not bland. she's giving it a go. she makes it work, sometimes."
