This years fashion week will be host to the best and worst of upcoming seasons fashions. Here’s a great piece of news to look forward to: Victoria Beckham will probably debut her new fancy dress collection with a show in New York.
“It will be something completely different from what I’ve ever done,” she tells WWD. “I’m just putting it together at the moment, but they will be very upscale dresses and likely will start at around $1,200 retail. I’m going to be using very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries.”
Eventually she hopes to branch out into shoes and bags, but can’t do those now because she’s a “control freak” and doesn’t want to expand too fast. And if she wants to sell her threads for $1,200, she needs to make sure they’re really, really, ridiculously good-looking. Posh also refuses to do sportswear because she only likes to do things that are “true” to herself, that she would wear herself. “Sports and me don’t really go hand-in-hand — other than with my husband,” she added.
Would anyone buy a $1200 dress from Posh? And, is it really called ‘designing’ when you are paying someone to do the work and you are just approving it?
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
