Newcomer to designing, Victoria Beckham is no notice when it comes to fashion. The ex Spice Girl, who has graced numerous tabloids and fashion magazine covers, launched her own clothing line two years ago. This past weekend she debuted her spring collection along with her new handbag line. Narrating her own show and giving descriptions on every piece gave the intimate audience of editors a glimpse into Beckham's world of fashion.
With Beckham's lack of sewing and designing experience, skeptics have been surprised on how clean her designs are. Some even question if the designs are really Beckham's original sketches. I don't feel as though a designer needs to have attended fashion school to be able to come up with ground-breaking fashion designs that are clean and precise. Victoria Beckham has been obsessed with fashion from an early age; perhaps her infatuation has molded her into the surprise star of this past weekend's fashion shows in New York City.
Another shock that came out of Victoria Beckham's collection was her choice in models. Beckham, who claims to be a size 6, said she wants models who are a realistic size to showcase her line of clothing. The collection's focus is on curves and shapes that make up the woman's body. “What’s alluring for me this season are the curves of a women’s figure," said Beckham. "Sensual volume and a defined silhouette that allows for a freedom of movement.” Beckham banned the size 0 models from walking the runway in hopes to protray a positive image to her younger fans.
Victoria Beckham’s designer dresses and handbags are sure to be seen on the red carpet in the near future. Her show was a hit, getting the thumbs up of the invited editors and talk around the entire city.
XOXO
