Spice girls dressed by CavalliItalian fashion icon Roberto Cavalli has designed the Spice Girls' costumes for their upcoming reunion tour.

Cavalli has created clinging multi-coloured jumpsuits, silvery glam outfits, plume-and-glitter-covered mini-dresses, sexy leather numbers and elegant evening gowns for the tour that kicks off on December 2 in Vancouver.

The flamboyant Italian designer said he'd been asked to do the outfits by Posh Spice Victoria Beckham, a long-time friend.

He was then introduced to the four other members of the most successful girl band ever.

''When I met them I immediately realised why the world went wild for their Girl Power,'' he said.

''They are a concentrate of talent, energy and joie de vivre spiced up with a heap of glamour.

''I'm sure their power will conquer us again this time''.

The tour comes more than a decade after the five-piece became a worldwide sensation, notching up a string of hits including Wannabe, the top-selling single ever by an all female group, Say You'll Be Three and 2 Become 1.

Emma Bunton, Mel Brown, Mel Chisholm, Victoria Adams and Geri Halliwell quickly became household names - although they were better known as Baby, Scary, Sporty, Posh and Ginger.

They sold more than 55 million records around the world, and even starred in a film, Spice World.

Halliwell quit in 1998 citing ''differences'', leaving them to complete a sold-out world tour as a foursome.

Since 2001 each member has pursued solo careers with varying degrees of success, while Posh has become better known as a trendsetter after her marriage to England footballer David Beckham.

Ahead of the comeback tour the band released a single, Headlines (Friendships Never Ends), and a Greatest Hits album which are both topping the charts in the UK.

The tour has 30 dates in the United States and Europe but won't be hitting Italy.
