VICTORIA BECKHAM
For her second showing in Paris, the British designer builds on the effortless elegance introduced last season with a modern eclecticism loosely inspired by Little Edie of “Grey Gardens” (Drew Barrymore, who played her in the dramatized version of the documentary, even reprised her role for Beckham’s show invite). Offsetting airy collage-like dresses and skirts made from panels of plissé in different brights, fluid maxis, and slinky gowns made from panels of weightless crepe jersey is a strong lineup of tailoring. Find it in the clean-cut suits with inverted lapels and strong-shouldered blazer minis that offer an offbeat and modern charm.
The buy: the spearmint maxi with a deep V that ends in a cheeky hidden zipper closure at the front.
