Victoria Beckham goes behind the camera as she takes charge during fashion shoot

As one half of one of the world's most famous celebrity couples, Victoria Beckham is photographed on a daily basis.

So it must have been refreshing for the style icon to go behind the camera for a change as she took charge of a photo shoot for her dress collection in west London today.

While Victoria stayed away from the front of the lens, she was modelling one of her own creations, a £2,095 Carmontelle cashmere-blend dress.

And as expected, Victoria was wearing her usual killer heels - opting for a pair of burgundy, patent £480 Christian Louboutin Bianca platform pumps.

After jetting in from Los Angeles on Tuesday, Victoria has been meeting staff at her London-based fashion line to plan the launch of the autumn/winter line.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather today, Victoria watched a group of slender, young models wear her designs as they sat on swings hung from the porch entrances of Georgian townhouses.

One of the models was even wearing the same dress at Victoria, but she didn't seem to mind what would be a fashion faux pas in other circumstances.

Among the creations being modelled was a £1,190 embellished wool jersey dress and a strapless purple satin gown.

The upcoming autumn/winter season is the second collection from Victoria, who launched her fashion range last year.

Her capsule dress collection features figure-hugging. formal dresses which are tailored to fit and flatter the female form.

When she launched her collection in London last December, she said her own label had been a long-time coming.

She said: ‘I really had to prove myself ... But now I feel like I am competing in an arena where I belong. I was so nervous because this has been a lifetime in the making.’

Victoria designed her creations with the help of a seamstress introduced to her by designer Roland Mouret, of who Posh is a huge fan.

Mrs Beckham has confessed that although she is the designer, she has not actually drawn the dresses.

In an interview at the time, she said: ‘Do I draw? No. Then again, nor do lots of designers. But I put it all on myself and walk around in it, and I know what feels comfortable. I know how a dress should sit.

'I’ve worn so many in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again because the corsets are too short and not cut high enough.’

Victoria's dress collection is currently available for sale in Britain at Harrods, Selfridges and Net-A-Porter.com.

Meanwhile, husband David is back in Los Angeles with the couple's three children after rejoining LA Galaxy last week after returning from loan to AC Milan.
