Vic’s got a new ‘do. Vic’s got a new fashion line, too.
As the former Spice Girl revealed her debut fashion collection to a handful of fashion’s elite editors yesterday, she also showcased a daring new hairdo, a short spiky crop.
Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham debuted her new collection to a handful of the fashion world’s elite at the New York fashion week. Calling her collection of frocks ‘classy’, spiky-cropped Victoria unveiled dresses that will be produced in limited editions and cost between 809 to 2,364 euros each.
We all know Vic can dance, sing, snag a very eligible man, pout, and squeeze herself into a fitted dress like no one else can. But can she design? The answer, says industry watchdogs, is yes.
Victoria first burst onto the world of fashion design with her dVb jeans and her sunglasses line. Not one to rest on her laurels or - in this case - her denims, Victoria’s taken to the drawing board and emerged with frocks that scream Victoria Beckham. Think somber shades and draconian cuts. Think dresses that put the emphasis on the curves rather than on the design. Think ultra-fitting, body-hugging numbers that fit like a glove from shoulder line to the knee. And if these descriptions sound familiar, that’s because you’ve seen those dresses long before they debuted on the runway.
No, Victoria did not steal another designer’s idea. No, she is not rehashing an old trend. But yes, you’ve seen her collection before because her dresses are exactly like the frocks we have seen her wear. Every one of the frocks in the Victoria Beckham line looks like it had been pulled right out of Victoria’s closet. And this, says fashion insiders, is not entirely a bad thing. After all, if there’s one thing Victoria’s dresses are famous for, it’s simple sophistication. The dresses Victoria made are just like the dresses she herself would wear - exquisitely simple, finely tailored, andcleanly minimalistic in color and design.
From Victoria’s closet to yours - not such a bad idea, innit?
