Fashion designer Victoria Beckham unveiled her latest collection of high end dresses at New York Fashion Week this past weekend … here is our first look at some of the designs that make up the former-popstar-turned-fashion-designer’s 4th collection of dresses:

While the rest of us were celebrating Valentine’s Day, the fashion pack were showing their love for Victoria Beckham, who presented her fourth collection in New York yesterday. In a series of intimate presentations, she showcased next season’s offering from her self-named label, which already counts the likes of Elle Macpherson and Jennifer Lopez among its fans. And the latest line looks set to win even more celebrity devotees – red carpet-friendly dresses inspired by femme fatales of the Forties – just in time for the Oscars. Each design was teamed with a pair of shades from Mrs Beckham’s own label, as well as towering platform heels – it didn’t take a genius to notice the similarity with the signature Posh look. Models that shared Beckham’s whip-thin frame did little justice to her inspired use of in-built corsetry – a design feature that has enabled curvier women, such as Carol Vorderman and Katherine Jenkins to wear her form-fitting designs. Draping appeared throughout, on backs and necklines as well as puffed hemlines, lending a more relaxed feel to the severe hourglass shapes of previous collections, though she retained details such as the sexy rose-gold zips that snake down the back of so many of her dresses. The result was a line of beautifully sculptured frocks, inspired by the unlikely combination of Dick Tracy comics and the late dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham, in an electric palette of deep reds, blues and greens, as well as nudes and a dazzling pale gold. Indeed the lady herself, who was, for once, not photographed, wore one of her own dresses with five-inch heels (clearly it was too important an occasion to worry about bunions). Presenting each dress, one-by-one, she said: ‘I feel the clothes express how my own personal style has evolved, more relaxed, a little more slouchy, but still structured.’ Block colours dominated, bar one print, a soft, grey pixillated design that appeared on a strapless minidress dubbed ‘the cloud’ – she explained how it had taken days, and several sleepless nights, to perfect. As the line yet again won high praise from the media, Beckham told her guests how the fashion industry was finally beginning to take her seriously as a designer, and that her dream would be to open her own store in the next five years. ‘But, I’m still learning,’ she admitted. ‘I still feel I need to prove myself – all my life I’ve had to prove myself. Each season, I have to better myself. I really want to grow as a designer.’

They all look the same to me … and they all look like Victoria Beckham … I suppose that is the point. To be honest, I think her dresses are far more impressive than her lame jeans line. Designing dresses appears to be her strong suit … she should prolly stick with this. What do y’all think … impressed or notsomuch?
