The collection Victoria Beckham unveiled during New York Fashion Week on February 14 was received very warmly. It looks like Posh has finally got the acceptance she had striven for.
It was her fourth collection and the most successful one, to be sincere. Dresses and high platform shoes were the focus and no wonder why, it’s just what the designer wants to see and wear herself.
Victoria started the show by greeting everyone, which was very different from other presentations, and as the fashion parade continued she was telling about the collection, commenting on styles and designs.
She said:
I feel the clothes express how my own personal style has evolved, more relaxed, a little more slouchy, but still structured.’
The dresses looked perfect – classy, chic and sophisticated, the ones for red carpets and special events. You will hardly ever see someone wearing such a frock in the street.
Lots of draping appeared throughout, on backs and necklines. Puffed hemlines along with rather strict silhuettes looked pretty. Some gowns were created in the style of trenchcoats, so much loved by Victoria. Long slits on dresses added sexuality to designs.
A few frocks came loose in waist area and this made me a bit puzzled because I’ve never seen Posh rocking such an outfit.
The color pallette included deep reds, blues and greens, as well as nudes and a dazzling pale gold.
The former Spice Girl claimed the range of dresses was inspired by comic book detective Dick Tracy.
Beckham said she felt great about the fact the industry finally began to take her seriously as a designer. Besides, she revealed her dream was to open her own store in the next five years.
But, I’m still learning,’ she admitted. ‘I still feel I need to prove myself – all my life I’ve had to prove myself. Each season, I have to better myself. I really want to grow as a designer.’
WWD commented on the range:
The collection Beckham showed for fall … presented none of the neophyte awkwardness one might expect from a four-seasons’ new designer (and not just one with a pop star past).’
British Vogue’s Lauren David Peden also praised the 35-year-old’s creations:
Beckham presented a very beautiful collection that evolved her body-con aesthetic while still leaving room – literally – to breathe, thanks to a new-found focus on draping and fluidity.’
Lisa Armstrong of The Times said:
These clothes are not being churned out to make a quick buck (leave that to her jeans, perfume and sunglasses) – they’re extremely work intensive.’
I like the collection a lot, it’s just what I prefer wearing. What is your opinion?
