I'm almost never a fan of celebrity fashion lines. There are a few exceptions (like The Row), but overall, I'm rather disinterested in celebrities who choose to fix their names to clothing lines. Victoria Beckham, however, distinguished herself from the celebrity pack of fashion designers with her Fall 2010 collection at NYFW. The Dick Tracy-inspired collection was filled with wearable dresses exhibiting impeccable craftsmanship and tailoring. VB is no longer a fashion tyro when it comes to creating and designing. We've always known that she had great personal taste, but it seems that her own posh brand of style will appeal to "a whole new class of fans," so says Style.com.
I, like the many critics, loved this collection because the dresses, while beautifully designed, were almost a blank canvas for fashion-lovers to accessorize and personalize each look to the wearer's individual taste. I could see many of the dresses worn with tough heels, cinched belts, bold jewelry, opaque or patterned tights, or even neon accents. The creative world is truly your oyster in a dress designed by VB.
The dresses were also sexy enough (without being too overt) to be ladylike and feminine at the same time. I especially loved the architectural and graphic elements to the shoulders and necklines. While I usually shy away from black dresses, VB excels when it comes to creating elegant head-to-toe black looks, so the black dresses in this collection truly stole the show.
Perhaps the best part about this collection was that I could picture Victoria Beckham herself in every single look...and who wouldn't want to emulate her elegant style?
