For spring/summer 2021, Victoria Beckham states it is all about freedom,“to explore, to dress up, to be yourself,” as she shares her hyper-edit ofjust 20 looks, nearly half down on what the designer produces for a normalcatwalk show.
Beckham, who was going to have a series of salon shows, scaled back herpresentation after the government announced the ‘rule of six’ just daysbefore London Fashion Week kicked off. Instead, the designer held a smallnumber of private appointments and released a catwalk video with a personalintroduction.
In the video, Beckham described the very wearable collection as “rootedin reality - in life, and living” in a quest to create the “true wardrobe”filled with pieces inspired by the Seventies with high-waisted elongatedtrousers and a white tailored suit.
Commenting on the design process behind the collection, Victoria Beckhamsaid: “Limitations can be liberating. Working remotely, for this collectionwe reacted spontaneously. We were instinctive. We asked ourselves what haschanged? Who do we want to be? What will we desire?
“This collection is rooted in our true DNA, our language; strongtailoring, sharp colour, modernity. And dressing women.”
As you would expect from a Beckham collection there are a lot ofdresses, from a purple halterneck dress with black lace to an open backlace detailed floor-length silk black gown, a ruched neckline dress in arose nude shade and a black triangle cut-out jersey dress silhouette.
The noticeable difference on last season is the hemlines, forautumn/winter 2020 Beckham flirted with shorter skirts, for spring/summer2021, Beckham is back to her trademark long hemlines.
There is also a strong selection of tailoring from split hem straightleg trousers in bold colours such as lime green, tan and check print,alongside single-breasted fitted blazers, a white tuxedo suit, and aParisian-style trenchcoat, which are perfectly styled with silk and knitseparates.
Beckham also touches on the need for lockdown loungewear with a taupe,light Nappa leather blouson, with a sporty white stripe down the side,poppers at the neckline and elastic at the waist. It was given acontemporary feel paired with very long, wide bootcut trouser in the samecolour.
Other highlights included a selection of denim, from worn-in patchworkflares to split hem straight leg jeans, a quilted padded gilet andstatement, oversized chunky brushed gold jewellery.
On the inspiration, Beckham added: “Eclectic is a word I keep returningto this season - it really encapsulates the woman, her attitude, hernonchalance. There are different silhouettes, different facets of dressing- coats, fluid dresses, denim and elongated trousers.
“Hemlines are longer, fits are easier, there’s a fluidity and ease.Really, it’s about a true wardrobe.”
