For SS ’12, the silhouettes are a mixture of her signature figure-hugging dresses, as well as more voluminous cocoon shaped pieces that include dresses and coats.
Sportswear inspired pieces have been introduced, with billowing hooded jackets, and drop waist dresses that recall tennis attire, with a 1920s twist. Panelling, oversized pockets and racer necklines further add to the sporty look of these pieces.
As you’d expect, accessories are a major feature: the signature Victoria bag is there, as well as a less structured version. There’s a sleek yet envelope clutch with long chain in soft buttery leather that we absolutely loved. In terms of materials, leather is the mainstay, but there’s also python, and the introduction of canvas for the first time. There are stunning leather or python heels designed by Louboutin, with a boot stocking in matching material to be worn with the shoes.
Part of the offering is a collection that reflects Victoria’s other side: a young, more playful and less structured aesthetic of looser pieces featuring silk screen prints of a drawing by Victoria of a cat; a range of Charlotte Olympia shoes go perfectly with this collection. It’s playful yet mature, still carrying the hallmarks of her great attention to detail and finish. The denim collection also features the favourite skinny classics that constantly sell out, as well as the introduction of tops that clearly reflect the main line.
The collection is simply fabulous, and the clear message that also comes across is that Victoria Beckham is not just here to stay, but in our opinion has found her place among fashion’s heavyweights.

To me, I'm so in love with her handbags & her maxi dress. She is really skillful and talented.
