The Victoria Beckham Pre-Fall 2024 collection sees the designer’s personal life threaded in the lineup with a mix of country-life and ballet-mad girlhood.

The contemporary-dance influence flows through her series of long, fluid dresses. Some have cutout necklines with wired curliqued inserts: “A sense of movement, freeze-framed,“ as she imagines it. Almost 15 years on, her short, body-con dresses have been replaced by other more graceful signatures her audience relates to. Women keep coming back for her ankle-skimming takes on modern tea dresses, ingeniously color-blocked knit dresses, and that simple-sexy-sophisticated ruching device she slips into slip-dresses.

Her reputation for tailoring known as “handsome feminity” in this collection showcases British heritage tweeds and preppy peacoats, styled together with turtlenecks, shirts, and cropped flares, or casualized with cargo pants or various permutations of denim pieces.

These are details which set her clothes aside from being uptight bourgeois classics to downtown cool, for a woman who appreciates interesting construction.
