Posh launched her line of dresses (entitled, tantalizingly enough, "The Dress Collection") on Monday and once again, Style has the goods:
"Every one of them could've been pulled from Beckham's own closet. The silhouette is beyond body-conscious, ultra-fitted from shoulder line to below the knee, with special seams along the derriere and torso to ensure against flat rear ends and busts, respectively. And each comes with woman-friendly details like a rose-gold back zipper ("so you don't have to dive into it and mess your hair and makeup") and a removable grosgrain ribbon lining the waist ("for posture"). If the collection owes a debt to anyone, it's Roland Mouret, whose Galaxy dress gave curves to even the most skeletal of celebrities, or maybe Dolce & Gabbana. But Beckham denies the inspiration. "This has been a lifetime in the making," she said, adding that she's been wearing the best designers in the world for about as long. And she's not interested in making an It dress. "I don't want to make dresses that will date. I've always been about clever buying." The dresses will range from $1,500 to $3,600."
It's actually a lovely collection. There isn't a piece here we don't like, some more than others. Tom thinks it's a perfectly inoffensive little collection (but perhaps a little dull), while Lorenzo LOVES it. We can both agree that if celebrities insist on branding themselves as fashion designers, they should stick to classic, simple looks. On that level, Posh knocked this one out of the park.
