Victoria Beckham

Most of us had always associated Victoria Beckham to the little tiny dress you wouldn’t even be able to walk in and to a certain doubt about her future plans regarding fashion and creativity.

The general feeling was like ‘her stuff is good, but let’s see how long she will pretend to be a designer’. We couldn’t just be more wrong.

The best collection of this New York Fashion Week features relaxed cuts, sportswear inspirations, cropped trousers, an excellent mix of materials and a minimalistic use of colors. The pleated miniskirt with the belt reminded me of the first Uniqueness by Alessandra Facchinetti, the tennis inspiration of David Koma’s last year proposal, seeing a piece of the collection on the designer’s ‘real’ body, that you don’t need to be a model to look gorgeous wearing something beautiful.

As an active social media connoisseur , creative director Victoria Beckham, right before showing us her Spring Summer 2014 collection, tweeted to her 7 million followers the keys to her aesthetic for this collection: ‘a sense of fluidity set against graphic structures’ and ‘the merging of boy and girl sensibilities’.

A beautiful picture of her family followed, front row seated, Anna Wintour winking lovely at little Harper on David Beckham’s legs. Maybe Victoria wanted to show-off on Twitter. Maybe she wanted us to know she has it all. Or maybe the former Posh spice wanted to prove she is now deservedly included among the designers that justify the existence of New York Fashion Week. Guess what, Victoria? You did it.
