I had been waiting for this moment for a few months: September - the change in air, the change in wardrobe, the first fall leaves and of course the fresh smell of a brand new fashion week season, but somehow the first few days of New York Fashion Week weren't as good as I had expected. Luckily here comes one of the best shows in New York so far: the Victoria Beckham collection!
Moving forward from her signature body-hugging dresses, the designer had a different aesthetic in mind for this collection: letting go of the sculptural in favour of a more relaxed look. We can see this evolution in the lighter, breezier fabrics used for the garments and in the change in contours and shapes. The designer herself, in her show notes, stated that in this collection she wanted to explore "the notion of how a woman can emotionally connect with her clothes and how they make her feel.". It was a brilliant move!
The predominating colors of the collection were the classic black and white duo with dashes of poppy orange scattered around to liven up the atmosphere. The looks evolve from sober button downs and long skirts towards a younger and livelier note, with tiered minis and a stripe of color. The collection is very edited and well put together, borrowing elements from the 60s, from menswear (the button-down shirts) and even from lingerie, but never being too literal. Everything remains effortless and very chic.
Among my favorite looks I can name the black and white ensemble in the opening photo, the white dress with a rounded collar and an orange stripe, the simple orange dress or the black dress with a sheer v-neck cleavage. Here are the most interesting looks from the runway:

And the wonderful designer herself! Doesn't she look more gorgeous every time you see her?
What were your favorite looks from this collection? Do you like the change in designs or do you prefer her former form-fitting aesthetic?

She's beautiful and I haven't been a huge fan of her clothes, but I do like this collection---I love the minimalist cuts, colors. Simple, chic and definitely eye-catching. My fave piece is the white and orange color-blocked skirt.

Oh, and I don't know when I'm going to Paris again :( It's only a 3 hour drive, so when I get my driver's licence, I might go again! But dang, I will miss the Fashion Week!
And I suggest you don't read War & Peace. Some parts are really good, but I don't like the Napoleon/Alexander parts, as I don't like reading about wars, it's just plain boring to me ;)
XO, Imke
Her collections are always so elegant and stylish, love it!

Love her new collection! It is so sophisticated :)
I certainly love the change because this, in my opinion is her best collection yet. The colours, style and the fact they actually look wearable.
