Star Quality:
I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw the clothes Victoria Beckham was putting out under her fashion label. And they have been seriously well received by the fashion world, as well. The first dress I saw of hers was nothing less than a STUNNER. A body-hugging Prussian Blue strapless number, mid-calf length, emblazoned with mermaid-like sequins on the front. Albright has it hanging amongst it's myriad dress as one of it's favorite highlight pieces. Posh wears it with her very handsome accessory of a husband above.
Throughout her collections, though, I can not help but notice the similarities between her form-fitting designs and the wonderful creations of Roland Mouret. Although I do think that anything reminiscent of his aesthetic is a great thing, as he dresses women to literal perfection.
Take for instance these new VB's from Albright. Princess-style and waist-cinching design details have become signatures of hers. I think what I love the most about her designs is that they scream of her, personally. And she steps out in them quite often. The magenta and black dresses shape the shoulders in a futuristic way, the girl wearing this is a total Judy Jetson! Then there's this grey dress that I am absolutely obsessed with. The cutout detail in front is an edgy way to show a peak without being completely blatant. The set in belt is a mastery of engineered design, and the exposed zipper is so of-the-moment.
Here's Posh modeling her grey dress. She's purely perfect in it. I love her side swept hair and how the structured cap sleeve slims the arm... not that she needs it by ANY means. Wouldn't you love to wear this dress?!
