Apparently all the buzz at New York Fashion Week is about Victoria Beckham’s Pret a Porter dress collection.
Says the Style.com review:
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.
Um, since I don’t have anything remotely close to $1500 to spend on a freakin’ dress, I’m just going to sit here and obsess over how the ultra-thin blonde model they’ve used here has one of those little bellies like I have, and they’re not airbrushing it out. That makes me really happy. See, I’m just like her! No matter how thin I get — and I am NOT as thin as this model — I still have my little Buddha belly. Just like the gorgeous model for Victoria Beckham’s line of ridiculously upscale dresses!
Buddha belly power!!!!
They’re right. They really do look like stuff she’d wear.
Sorry to say this Beet, but that protruding belly has less to do about her genes/body type and more to do with the fact that she is malnutritioned so her belly sticks out
So.. She managed to make the same dress but in differnt/colors (black, white and grey, go creative) and/or patterns and with somewhat differnt sleeves. Hooray for becks.
Boring. I mean, pleeeease. It hurts.
i would totally save some money to buy of of those dresses, im a designer junkie and those are really cute. i love the classic, simple look.
I would say they are beautifully tailored but where is the inspiration?
I am 110 pounds and I have one. Go Buddha bellies!
I don’t think a removable grosgrain ribbon will improve my posture. Ever.
A minimum of $1500 American for a wrap shirt and a high-waisted skirt? Find a high-quality dressmaker. They would be able to make most of this “collection” for that. And tailor it around any buddha-belly.
what is this kind of dress called?
If this is what she has to show for a “lifetime in the making” then I would loathe to see what she would produce as a Project Runway challenge! She is very thin, gets lots of attention for being thin and changing her hair style, for being married to Becks (God bless her for that) and dressing very poorly, I just don’t want to spend my money on that vision…
I love them.
I like it but do you have to be a size stick to be able to wear the clothes
http://www.stopstaring.com has much nicer dressess and much cheaper.
Beet, WHERE is the buddha belly!? Where?
are u for real! lol! I can go to Ann Taylor or Ann Klien and get those simple sleek sexy designers for three times less the price! give me a break!
are you kidding?? I see nothing that even resembles a bump on those models! And I really do not think the dresses on stopstaring.com are even close to her dresses. Totally different style. Those dresses are throwbacks and these are more high fashion, not like I would spend that much for them regardless..
