As hubby David Beckham sits proudly in the front row next to fashion goddess Anna Wintour, his wife Victoria is probably chewing her nails off backstage… And even though Mrs. Beckham doesn’t talk like a fashion designer of the classical couturier tradition, this lady is rapidly achieving the success of one!
Earlier this week Beckham showed off her latest collection at her New York Fashion Week Show and if there is still any doubt about Beckham’s credibility in the fashion world, this fall collection should erase all of that.
The dresses were extremely figure-flattering with references to athletic wear like rugby stripes and polo shirt collars and the use of colors like green and olive, rendered in shapes that would make the wearer look long and lean.
What she sent down the catwalk was a collection of stylish well-made clothes that any woman would want to be seen in. What was new were the military elements – epaulettes, gold buttons, a python-lined long trench coat, with plenty of khaki – interspersed with double-looped thin leather belts at the waist, and criss-crossed shoulders on open-backed garments.
Beckham said in her show notes that she wanted ‘to explore how clothes can make women feel when they put them on and how to create an emotional attachment between the garment and the wearer. The idea of how the body can connect to the clothes through their construction and detail fascinates me.’
It was truly a family affair for the Beckhams; Victoria even celebrated her seven-month-old daughter, Harper, who was honoured in the form of a new handbag named after her… Aww, lucky little thing!
