Vicktoria Beckham fashion collection
Victoria Beckham has launched her first fashion collection at New York Fashion Week based entirely upon her own personal style.
Esconced in the Royal Suite of the Waldorf Towers, she talked a select group of fashion press through what she called "my dream of a lifetime."
The collection, of just 10 styles, which will cost between £600 and £1,900, is based entirely upon Mrs Beckham’s own style and owes more than a little to one of her favourite designers, Roland Mouret, inventor of the ‘Galaxy Dress’.
Interior corsetry, grosgrain waistbands, shoulder pads and ingenious ‘nips and tucks’ in the bust, waist and hip area, ensure that, as the fledging designer puts it "every woman who wears these dresses can have great posture and look great from every angle."
Overall, the collection has a surprisingly modest, almost prim attitude with all hemlines ending at least three inches below the knee and some of the bow-neck, blouse-bodices having an almost governess feel.
The collection is being made in London with a small atelier staff of less than five people.
Only 400 examples of the entire collection will be sold worldwide and will be available from February.
"I know I have a lot to learn, but over the years I think I have worked out how women want to look," she said.
She described her inspiration as coming from all the designers whose clothes she had ever worn, coupled with a love of 40’s and 50’s styles and a desire to be comfortable.
