Victoria Beckham is on our It-list. Not only was the former pop princess a recent headlining judge in Wallpaper's Design Awards issue, but she continues to be on a winning streak with her fashion career. Crucial to her formula for success is an uncanny knack for creating fashion forward clothes that are covetable for the advanced dresser and yet also ingestible to the broader masses. Though dripping in new details, these are clothes that are simple in their shape and intrinsically wearable. Long buttonless coats or lean raw edged wrap dresses, for example, were held together with just a simple gold chain, where the flash of warm metal heated up a normally very simple look. Beckham's big news this season was in construction, but she did it subtly, cutting in a curtain of pleats in the back of a wool coat, or onto the front of a short skirt. The pleating was outstanding as a new decorative device especially at night when a glistening gunmetal floor-length evening skirt was paired with a cosy black funnel neck sweater. A clear example of a perfect winter ensemble designed by a woman, with a woman in mind.
