NYFW Diary: Classic couture charm at Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham, said, with a cheeky grin, “this feels like a proper fashion show”. Indeed it was. Beckham’s fifth collection to date was unveiled early Sunday morning with an intimate gathering at a town house on 63rd Street, which also doubles as a studio space when she’s in New York. Dressed in a sand-coloured sack dress (“This is the only thing in the new collection that fits me. I designed all of this before I knew I was pregnant”), Beckham sat in the front row—directly in front of me!—speaking at length about each look as it came out.
