For the Victoria Beckham Resort 2023 collection, the designer gets inspired by her mother’s friend Frances’s crafting skills of flowers, which played a pivotal role in Beckham’s most glamorous collection to date.

The collection featured a sexy, cinematic proposal of skimpy, slinky lingerie dresses, architecturally ruched jersey numbers, louche blouses, and silk suits, and sensational secret-agent coats. She painted it all in Guy Bourdin-esque emerald, lipstick-pink, and champagne, and underpinned her elongated glamour-puss silhouette with thigh-high lycra boots—adorned with takes on Frances’s flowers.

This collection had the oomph for which the assignment calls: Fa-bu-lous. It’s probably because you could feel Beckham’s core personality within these clothes. Gazing intensely at a pair of shiny green disco trousers, she said they were a tween-age dream come true. Cut to 1980s Hertfordshire.
