The world just cannot get enough of the fabulous, fierce and fantastically talented Mrs. Beckham!

Last week Victoria Beckham was nominated for the Designer Brand of the Year. Since then Eva Longoria Parker has stepped out wearing Victoria Beckham at the launch of her fragrance in London. And that’s not to mention Beckham is currently preparing to unveil her Spring 2011 collection on the Manhattan catwalks of New York Fashion Week this Sunday! Victoria Beckham is a force to be reckoned with!

Victoria Beckham’s Fantastic Fall 2010 Collection…
Elegant, sexy and streamlined; Victoria Beckham’s Fall collection was an impeccable line-up of dresses ready and waiting to be coveted. Describing her collection as “an exercise in control: working with structure and drapery”; Beckham’s pieces are precisely that – a perfect combination of fit and soft fluidity. With Dick Tracy as her inspiration, the collection fittingly appeared in eye-popping rich hues of red, emerald green and sapphire blue alongside black, charcoal and camel.

With keen attention to detail, luxe fabrics and a focus on shape; Victoria Beckham’s pieces flatter and do wonders for feminine curves. Waist-clinching bets, high heels and strategic placement of clean lines and draping, make her hourglass dresses shop-stopping red carpet favourites. Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez have all walked the red carpet wearing her gorgeous gowns.
