Posh steals the show at NY Fashion Week with a Halle Berry inspired crop

Victoria Beckham is the talk of New York Fashion Week after unveiling a surprise new cut at the Marc Jacobs catwalk show yesterday.
Posh has abandoned her famous Pob in favour of a daring pixie crop, reminiscent of Hollywood star Halle Berry’s 2002 Bond Girl look. She managed to upstage even Jennifer Lopez, who sat beside her in front row seats at the show.
It was an eventful day for the mother of three – earlier she launched her first fashion collection based entirely upon her own personal style to a handful of fashion’s elite editors. She revealed even husband David had not seen all the finished pieces, although he regularly texted throughout the showcase for progress reports.
The novice fashion designer described her collection of ten dresses as “classy”. Each fashionable frock is typically Posh – super figure-hugging, though all feature a modest below-the-knee hemline.
She called the debut of her own range of dresses a ‘dream of a lifetime’. She added: ‘I know I have a lot to learn, but over the years I think I have worked out how women want to look.’
‘I’ve been working on this for 34 years. I always wanted to be a fashion designer. ‘Then along came the Spice Girls which opened a lot of doors for me. And, let’s be honest, closed a lot. ‘But those days are over. I was never going to be the world’s best singer, but I hope I can be a good designer.’
Her enthusiasm isn’t exactly shared by her husband. She says: ‘I think sometimes David thinks I’m a bit nuts. I get very excited about rivets and buttons and fabric that he doesn’t really understand.’ ‘But he supports me and I think that’s important in a relationship.’ Available in sizes six to 14, she described the dresses as ‘suitable for all ages’ and singled out curvy celebrities Nigella Lawson and Dame Helen Mirren as ideal customers.
Launching in February, each piece is produced in limited editions – there will be no more than 400 of the first collection – and will cost between £650 and £1,900.
