The slouchy and relaxed silhouette may be on its way out, as evidenced by the body-hugging creations at the Victoria Beckham Autumn Winter 2012 runway show. The show, which was attended by hubby David Beckham and daughter Harper, served up sleek pieces with close-fitting designs and militaristic and sporty accents.
A slew of body-conscious, knee-length dresses marched down the catwalk, accented with contrast shirt collars and military details like epaulets and gold buttons. The Victoria Beckham Autumn Winter 2012 collection also referenced the baseball uniform with pieces featuring color-blocked raglan sleeves, which the designer says were inspired by her son Brooklyn. Other pieces in the extremely wearable collection include beanie hats (inspired by David Beckham's everyday headwear), slim wrap-around leather belts, biker boots and color-blocked coats.
