New York Fashion Week - Victoria Beckham and Ralph Lauren collections



Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren's Spring / Summer will be taking place in a decedent western town filled with luscious white lace, fringing and luxe leather. Fortunately, there were no cowboy hats in sight! Lauren's taken on western was much more decedent. High Victorian necklines and vintage lace patterns were created ih a mainly white colour palette which moved into glimpses of sky blue, silver and soft camel.

Ralph Lauren favourites….
My favourite piece from the collection was the short white lace dress with long sleeves. This dress would look just as stylish in the big city as it would do down at the ranch. Just amazing!


Victoria Beckham's Spring/Summer collection took an unexpected turn away from corseted structure this season. Instead we saw loose silhouettes and soft draping. Electric shades of ultraviolet and sunshine yellow added notes of the unexpected to her main colour palette of: blush pink, soft brown, silver, white and black. With a nod to the 60's, Beckham's dress shapes were beautiful, feminine and fun. Exposed zippers running down the back and soft seams on the front of dresses, were subtly sexy.

Essential Victoria Beckham pieces….
Two of my favourite dresses from the whole of NY Fashion week appeared in this collection! Firstly the white pleat shoulder bell dress with silver waist (pictured at the very top of this page). And secondly the white optical print flare dress.
