Victoria Beckham and her new dress line
December 3, 2008
Victoria Beckham is launching her dress line this week and she’s got a secret. She’s taking the credit, but she’s not the one designing these dresses. We’ve heard that the brains behind her dress collection is one of Posh’s favorite designers of skin tight frocks, Roland Mouret. Fashion victims will recall that Mouret created the insanely poplar Galaxy dress that many Hollywood starlets were photographed wearing. The formfitting dress supposedly flattered all figure types and judging by the many wearers, it did.
I love the dress she is wearing in this photo. Don’t know if it is her design or not, but it is most obviously influenced by the 1960s coats, of which we have many posted here on this blog.

Thanks, Janet.
