History

Historical Context

In July 1996 the Spice Girls released “Wannabe,” which surged to number one in 37 countries and sparked the “Girl Power” wave that defined Cool Britannia’s teen-pop revival. Managed by Simon Fuller and signed to Virgin Records, the hit launched a merchandising empire that still reverberates, as seen in Melanie C’s Global Impact Award, Victoria Beckham’s Miami boutique and a new Funko pop set.
