It is seven years since Victoria Beckham has been in New York with a new collection. She does not give up Paris, where she has performed her catwalk shows in recent years, but the Big Apple is in mind. It was not far from today’s presentation in the Centurion New York on the 55th floor of One Vanderbilt that she held her first agreements with editors and buyers in 2008, and she comes back in the fall for the premiere of the Netflix documentary series about making its fashion and beauty companies.
Beckham wore pieces from the new resort collection that she shows in the city: a baby pink fine knitting polo hidden in the slankest of Midi skirts in sage green wool. A matching tailor-made jacket with a breed with raw edges was thrown over a lounge chair, where an XL Victoria bag in Bordeauxjes leather had also settled.
She noted that this season’s palette was drawn from a Francis Bacon painting from 1979, Study for a portraitThat was briefly exhibited in her London flagship as part of the curation of a Sotheby. The graphic floral print on silk slip dresses and on the lining made of a raincoat made in collaboration with Mackintosh, was now inspired by a Gary Hume -canvas. As far as silhouettes are concerned, Beckham took her design instructions from Dans, an early passion of her and the very real, everyday demands to dress for her powerful career and life, which is often spent in front of cameras.
Where the autumn collection she presented in Paris in March, experimentally leaned with its fabric rolls and pants in shoes with high heels, the strong appropriate and soft, flowing jersey dresses from Resort wear their user -friendliness as a cooling pool. “The first drop is around October,” said Beckham, “so it is a real chance to do what we do with our tailors and our dresses and Christmas clothing, always remembering my brand codes: from things that are really being considered, really flattering on the body and giving a great silhouette.” On both the suits and the dresses, the sliced waist was a primary focus, accentuated with a cummerbund on the first and cut by the body that defined seams on the last.
The most surprising was the weekend wear; Chenille sweatshirts, sporty bombers, Moleskin-Broek and jeans in a nubby, no-stretch Japanese denim are not the kind of things that are usually seen on Beckham’s catwalks, but they looked good. A black flight suit combined with a small Pointelle-Breier looked particularly New York-like.
