Oh Victoria Beckham!
She was just recently our famous friday, rocking so many all black outfits any time anywhere.
This time, however, we are blogging about her runway looks she presented during New York Fashion Week and many of them were just every so polished, we had to post something!
Take a look:
I just adore tasteful cut outs, they reveal a little skin for some subtle touches of sexiness
One of my favorite looks is an oversized coat with heavy boots. It’s comfortable and effortless not to mention clean and composed
One of the most successful ways to play within the all black boundaries is to change up textures patterns!
This look, Beckham tweets is her “favourite look!”
and it surely is one of mine as well.
A-symmestrical hem lines, varying textures, and edgy cuts, it’s an all-around success!

In May 2011 I saw the most jaw-dropping, luxurious, and inspirational dress I have ever laid my eyes on. The Horn of Plenty by Alexander McQueen was featured in the Metropolitan Museum’s gallery ‘Savage Beauty’ and I have never forgotten about it since.
To quote Andrew Bolton:
One of the most compelling items in this particular gallery is an ensemble that’s made out of duck feathers dyed black, which gives the impression of a raven. A raven was a Romantic symbol of death. It’s an item that’s very melancholic but also very romantic at the same time. It came from a collection called The Horn of Plenty. And The Horn of Plenty was a collection that was very much inspired by the 1950s haute couture. And you even see the silhouette here; you see the very nipped-in waist, the huge shoulders. McQueen loved a very hard shoulder and a very small waist. So even in this particular garment—even though it seems so extreme—he’s still referencing 1950s couture. He’s still playing with the proportions that he loved so much.
And feathers play such an important role in McQueen’s work. He loved birds. And feathers was a material that he would revisit again and again in his work.
In McQueen’s Words:
“It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle—everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.”
