Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2016.

Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2016.

Fresh and carefree is how Victoria Beckham chose to summarize her Spring/Summer 2016 collection and embodied that ethos of the clothes she sent forth. Relaxed and breezy were also very apt, but in a very offhanded and luxurious way. Beckham kept her palette simple, adding excitation by using a neutral-esque plaid and a punchy surfer print that channeled the advertisements for the movie "The Endless Summer" also by super saturated splashes of Rust, Curry and Marine Blue. Those colours were most effective when paired with the main colours of the collection, Black and White.

Beckham proved herself a mix-master with innovative and whimsical patchworking of prints and patterns and clashing yet, funkily harmonious juxtapositions, as in that aforementioned plaid in subdued tones of Grey, Black, and Red against Optic White, or Coral and Black/Marine and Curry Yellow/Black surfer prints popping against Black on a long, louche overcoat. There were more of these instances, but the hardest hitting pieces were the ones that relied less on counterpoint and focused on spare, clean modernism, like the simple brilliance of a sleek hooded leather split front top in Dove White paired with Black leather pants or the unequivocally masterful tank dress in White, again, with a band of Marine Blue at the neck and a single pocket in Rust, Genius!

Beckham has shifted her focus from her beginnings as a glam evening gown designer whose creations were molded within an eighth of an inch of their life to a lithe, sleek form, to becoming one of the best designers of luxe and unique sportswear on the fashion show rounds. It was an unlikely transition and one that has taken a little time to coalesce for the designer, but it is a niche that she has grown into and is beginning to hit her most powerful strides in. The future looks bright!





That's All.
