Fusing the realms of shapewear and ready-to-wear, designer and pervasive pop-culture figure Victoria Beckham has revealed the latest addition to her eponymous fashion label. VB Body, a permanent capsule collection, returns to the core aesthetic principles of the brand’s original ethos, appearing as effortless, chic and as body conscious as her debut Spring/Summer 2009 collection at New York Fashion Week.
With a subtle sensuality and a fresh sense of femininity, VB Body sees a stripped-down, minimalist campaign filled with poignant, black-and-white shots emphasizing the collection’s sleek silhouettes, evocative of the ’90s era from which Beckham sprouted wings and catapulted to fame as Spice Girls member Posh Spice.
Celebrating the female form, VB Body’s luxe trademark compact woven knit fabrication is to thank for the collection’s gentle sculpting and impressive contouring of the body. “VB Body is what I wish I’d always had in my wardrobe,” said Beckham, per the brand. “Beautifully constructed, form-fitting pieces that flatter the body.”
Melding juxtaposing perspectives, the collection somehow consists of both muted, foundation pieces while simultaneously acting as distinctive style statements. With seven different streamlined silhouettes, the collection comprises of jersey dresses, and interchangeable co-ords, including bralettes, a fitted midi skirt and front-split leggings.
Awash in neutral, versatile tones of black, white, blush and chocolate brown, the collection will receive a vibrant, seasonal treatment with one bright hue punctuating the collection. Now, pieces are available in a zesty tomato red, which Beckham displayed herself in October.
“VB Body truly captures one of our core Victoria Beckham brand values. It celebrates the female form, empowering women to feel like the best versions of themselves,” said the creative director.
Joining the ranks of Lizzo, Kim Kardashian and other fellow celebrity-designed foundation collections, with asymmetrical necklines, subtle cutouts, cinching corset-style detailing, VB Body is not your mother’s shapewear. Priced from $120 to $890, you can find VB Body on victoriabeckham.com starting today, April 27.
