New York Fashion Week: Victoria Beckham debuts a more relaxed collection

Victoria Beckham showed off a more relaxed, sporty collection at New York Fashion Week yesterday.

Her latest show recieved unanimous positive reviews from the likes of Rachel Zoe, Anna Wintour and of course, husband David Beckham (with Harper on his lap) who all lined the front row.

The sporty cuts, in a pallet of burgundy, fuchsia and white, reminded us of a preppy private school uniform – think Pippa Middleton.

There were none of the fitted sheath dresses for which her label has become known.

Instead, the collection had a more relaxed feel, with the minimalist shapes softened by loose peplums and ruffles.

A highlight though, was by far and away the culotte, which reappeared in several looks, as well as Mrs Beckham’s own outfit when she took her bow.

Falling to just below the knee – much like many of her dresses of seasons past – they made for a fresh, more relaxed, but yet still-tailored silhouette.

Speaking to Grazia after the show, Mrs Beckham said:  “I love a fitted dress but there’s a different side of me too that’s more relaxed but still sharp.”

She added to Vogue.com: “I like to challenge myself every season. . . I want to wear everything, I’m so proud of it.”
