Boy, oh, boy!
Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Yesterday we saw pics of Vicki B. appearing at an in-store appearance in Germany to promote her denim line dVb. VB has already made her way to her former home Madrid, Spain to continue the dVb promo tour there … and she was still rockin’ the boyish look (tho, with sky-high stiletto heels) that she debuted in Dusseldorf. Here are a few pics of Vicki B. in Madrid earlier today:


I mean, I’m not really that interested in her over-priced jeans but I am still totally loving her new masculine look. That is not to say that VB looks mannish but I do think she looks well-styled and very put together. Actually, the clothes that Posh wore in Germany and in Spain look like outfits that might’ve come from David Beckham’s closet (tho with much tailoring). With those killer high heeled shoes, she looks like an absolute knock-out (I would just advise against the headband). I hope she keeps rockin’ this look cuz, as I said yesterday, I really think it suits her.

Vicki B. Takes dVb To Germany

Oh, boy!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Vicki B., who was lookin’ very puritanical as she made her way thru LAX Airport earlier this week, showed up in Dusseldorf, Germany earlier today to do an in-store appearance at Jades boutique for her dVb Denim line. On this occasion, Posh ditched the pilgrim look and decided to go for something more … masculine:


She is one of Britain’s most influential clothes horses, but Victoria Beckham’s latest ensemble may not prove a runaway success on the High Street. The former Spice Girl arrived for the launch of her new A/W dVb 08 denim collection wearing a satin-fitted, collarless tuxedo jacket with a matching waistcoat and a black tie … but no shirt. She paraded the bizarre look in front of bemused onlookers at Jades boutique in Dusseldorf, Germany. Victoria is currently on a European sojourn from Los Angeles, where she’s based with husband David and their three sons.

See, now this look looks Posh to me. With her short pixie haircut and her angular frame, she looks really amazing in this pants suit outfit. Granted, I really think her dVb Denim line is too overhyped (especially for poorly it has sold in the past) but I gotta give it up to the robotic one … she looks smokin’ in these photos. I’m really feelin’ this look on her … what do y’all think?

Vicki B. Tries Her Hand At Fashion Design … Again

If at first you don't succeed
Sunday, September 7th, 2008

After trying her luck in the designer jeans game (to questionable success), Victoria Beckham is about to embark on a new career in fashion that has her designing dresses. Women’s Wear Daily was able to preview Vicki B’s new dress collection, which will be fully (altho, privately) unveiled at New York Fashion Week this week and here is our first look at two of her signature pieces:


Victoria Beckham’s first dress collection stays true to her style. The line, previewed exclusively to WWD, clearly follows the former Spice Girl’s fashion mantra. The 10 looks are tailored to the body, made with fabrics such as basket-weave cotton, fine gazar and georgette silks and have touches of Indian embroidery and hand-sewn beading. “The collection was inspired by the femininity and sophistication of the midcentury silhouette,” Beckham explained. “I’ve always been drawn to intricate, seam-detailed designs, as their structure enhances the flattering shape of a woman’s silhouette.” … “I like to focus on the posture of a woman and how she holds herself, which led me to incorporate features such as modern corsetry and grosgrain details,” she said. “All corsetry is made for comfort and support with the finest materials, and, in addition, there are finer grosgrain belts that are incorporated into the line of the softer constructed dresses to give this effect in a more subtle way, thus enabling women of all sizes to wear my dresses to create a magnificent silhouette.” After launching her dVb label with jeans and sunglasses, the dress collection is the third fashion extension for Beckham … The label will say both Victoria Beckham and dVb, and the collection is priced between $600 and $1,400 at wholesale. The collection will be unveiled during private appointments next week. Company executives declined to give sales projections for the line, which targets distribution to upscale department and specialty stores. “Dresses are very signature for me, as I have always dressed in a very feminine and ladylike manner,” Beckham said. “This collection may be new, but it’s been a lifetime in the making for me.”

I mean, the dresses look like something that VB would wear so, I guess she’s on the right track. I dunno, with young whipper-snappers like Lauren Conrad and even Heidi Montag getting themselves into the design game I think VB needs to watch her back. Granted, these dresses are more high end and are more sophisticated … but I don’t understand how a woman who wants to spent a nice chunk of change on a dress would choose to do so for a Vicki B. design rather than, say, a Diane von Furstenberg design. Anyone?
