Victoria by Victoria Beckham – Really cute!
Victoria Beckham has finally unveiled her diffusion collection ‘Victoria’ by Victoria Beckham, and it is quite different from her usual collections to say the least. A cute collection of shorter, 1960s style shifts and mini dresses, this seems miles away from her usual collections in terms of sophistication. Whereas her Victoria Beckham line is full of cool and elegant looks, this is the fun and flirty side of Mrs Beckham. Think the younger sister of the mainline wearer and you might be getting somewhere. This line is bright and colourful, and will retail much cheaper than the normal collection. The silhouettes are loose and flowing, non of the va-va-voom of…

Harking back to the 1950s days of Balenciaga and Jacques Fath, there were pieces in this collection that would have graced…

Victoria Beckham at New York Fashion week
Sometimes it’s hard to believe she was ever Posh Spice. Victoria Beckham is now a long way away from her Spice Girl incarnation, and with her latest collection unveiled at New York fashion week, and huge waiting lists for her bags, she has finally been accepted as a talented designer who is here to stay. Here new collection has received praise from fashionistas and critics alike. The 29 piece collection marked a departure from the form-fitting dresses of the previous ranges, with of soft fabrics and looser fitting dresses in a range of lengths. Many of the dresses had a streamlined effect, and the overall impression left was of…
