Victoria Beckham Unveils Dress Collection

Victoria Beckham has launched her first dress collection - and it remains "true to her style," according to fashion industry journal Women's Wear Daily.

According to WWD, "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."

Beckham says, "The collection was inspired by the femininity and sophistication of the mid-century silhouette.

"I've always been drawn to intricate, seam-detailed designs, as their structure enhances the flattering shape of a woman's silhouette."

She added, "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

"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."

The line -- which is the former Spice Girl's third fashion range (she has her own dVb label jeans and sunglasses) -- includes a black stretch-cotton, hand-sequined strapless dress with a corseted bodice, and a black-and-white fleck cotton paneled style with topstitched shoulder panels.

"Structure is an important word to use when discussing my collection," said Beckham. "The corsets and belts that have been incorporated into my dresses have been made in such a way that they are comfortable and supportive. My clothes are designed for women from a woman’s perspective."

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 shown off during private appointments next week.

"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."
