The Beckhams - A family affair.

Fashion season is well and truly in full swing, having seen Milan Mens week last month, we have set the wheels in motion with New York Fashion week. New York always seems to be the week that lags, or is forgotten about but the time we get to Paris at the end. However this time around we will all be remembering New York and this is down to the carefully crafted collection from Victoria Beckham.

A few years ago when Vicky B launched her brand the fashion world went into a panic striken frenzy - Can she pull it off? Why is a 'singer' doing fashion? Victoria always was, and is, a fashion icon, but actual fashion designer we weren't to sure about. Has she hit the nail on the head this time around? Yes! Absolutely.

The collection comprised of 22 overwhelmingly body-hugging dresses with military influences and the odd baseball uniform reference put into the mix. Victoria was inspired by the baseball shirt her son Brooklyn darts around the house in. "I get so inspired by my everyday life," she said. The highlight of the collection, a new two-pocketed handbag, lovingly named after Harper, the Beckhams youngest: this show was a family affair.

It was David's first catwalk outing, and conveniently timed with the recent launch of his underwear range sold worldwide in H&M - he said he's stayed away in the past to leave Victoria un-distracted. First he swapped pre-show chit-chat with Anna Wintour, who donned her trademark black frame sunglasses, then the lights came up and he focused on the clothes. These had plenty of signature sexy Victoria Beckham touches; the crying-out-to-be unzipped zippers that run down the spine from neck to hem, the tightness, and the odd hip, waist, or breast line running horizontally across the body.

What was new were the military elements - epaulettes, gold buttons, a python-lined trench coat, and plenty of khaki - topped off with double-looped thin leather belts at the waist. Victoria worked with what she knows best - the corsetry of her previous collections for close-fitted canvas and quilting to provide that supportive fit. Not everything, though, was tight: there were some relaxed shirt dresses with baseball collars, and some mini-dresses. The shoes: flat, no-messing biker boots or heavy-strapped high heel shoe-boots, worn over calf-climbing thick, baseball inspired woollen socks. No crippling stilettos! She's a mother dont'cha know!

Backstage, after the show, the applause woke Harper. David put down his camera, which was glued to him throughout the show, and picked her up in his arms. He said: "I got some good shots" - humbing to know he wanted to take his own photos for the family album. David went on to say, "I think the collection is very strong. Very sexy, and there were some amazing shapes on the girls - it's been a successful morning. This is my first show and it's nice to be involved, and to see how hard my wife works." Victoria, meanwhile, was answering questions from journalist from across the globe. "He's never been before," she said of David :"I don't think that he even realised that I have a proper job until today". Oh Victoria, nor does most of the world but it's safe to say you've nailed it.
