The Official Victoria Beckham Spring/ Summer 2013 thread

[Tony]

Roll on Sunday ...

Get posting with thoughts about the collection, reviews, pictures, behind the scenes, thoughts on past collections etc.

I think it will be more masculine than ever before. Black, grey, tailored, the inclusion of the optical line and a focus on more masculine looks as she now has the V by VB collection to focus on feminine looks.

[gugette]

I think last season was pretty masculine and tailored so she'll go the opposite direction this time. The optical line makes sense in the V by VB show.

[Tony]

I think the opticals are quite high end like the bags and the coats. I would be surprised if they are in the cheaper collection based on the cost and the production that has gone in to producing them. Last season was still quite feminine as the dresses were great colours and were super fitted. I hope to see a trouser suit.

[gugette]

You're probably right about the opticals being in the main line show but we shall see about who's right about the main collection

[Tony]

No competition! It's really interesting to hear everyones opinions.

First look at one of the dresses here - it looks divine:

that pic actually makes me wanna work in the fashion industry Maybe I just should.

[Tony]

I love how she is wearing glasses in that pic. I really hope that the models will not be wearing those shoes in the show though. They are horrid.

[RainbowNerdette]

hmmmz, fittings are usually done in the same underwear and shoes as the person intends to wear, as it can affect the way a garment fits.

[gugette]

Looking at the board in the back, it's a lot of black for s/s

[Tony]

I think the shoes are Zanotti. They look very similar to the ones that Kim Kardashian is always wearing at the moment. Not a good look.

[gugette]

I think I see pants on the board.

You're right Tony, VB's booties look like Zanotti too

[mel2vicem]

well black is what she does best but I can see flashes of blood orange and white...probably the left board is the V VB line.

[Suki]

Love this pic and the dress is gorgeous. Can't wait for the rest.

[Vitalina]

Ohh, that dress looks great!

[Patricia]

wow, i love that dress! vic looks great in that pic, i wonder if she actually knows how to sew a hem...

[RainbowNerdette]

I was wondering the exact same thing! She probably does though, I take her for too much of a perfectionist not to learn a simple thing like that when she's been in fashion for so long.

I'd teach her everything I know if she'd ask though

[mrvb_19]

You don't have to know how to sew to be a fashion designer as many skeptics don't believe she designs the dress. It also takes concept.

[mel2vicem]

David will be attending the show on Sunday because Hilary Alexander journalist tweeted he will be attending the Yohji Yamamoto show on Sunday

[RainbowNerdette]

Beg to differ! In the wearable fashion (as opposed to some catwalk collections that no one would ever wear unless they're an on-duty drag queen or something I mean) you do have to at least know your theories about how to make clothes! You don't have to be physically able to sew a seam, but you need to know how to make clothes, as in what to sew together and how, for sure.

It is undoubtedly possible to be a fashion designer if you don't... But you will drive everyone you work with crazy and will have a hard time designing clothes that actually look good on a person unless you draw them on standard (or specially pre-made) templates. This is something only celebs can get away with as it is a big hassle to have a ghost-designer do half (or more) of your work and there are oodles of "real" designers waiting for a break who do know their stuff.

I don't hold Victoria for the kind of person who could live with herself if she'd do that though (not because it'd be wrong or anything, but because she just seems like that kind of person) and her designs have me believe that she does know the necessary stuff.

Love that picture (except for the boards in the back, my eyes hurt from all the trying to see something), Victoria should wear pants more often.
I expect some color, not a lot obviously, but since she was complemented a lot for those pops of color last season, there should be something similar this season too.
I wonder if there will be any evening wear this time.
Two more days!!!

[mel2vicem]

I hope for a few gowns. I missed that

[Toefje]

hmm Anna Wintour looks dreadfully outdated. Patsy Stone anyone?

Victoria However <3 <3
