Physicality sculpts our bodies and clothes. Postures and gestures imprint the garments we wear, activate  them, and imbue them with soul. For Victoria Beckham, who spent her formative years studying classic and  contemporary ballet and musical theatre, the memory of dance is ever-present. The Spring-Summer 2024  Collection investigates through construction ballet’s emotional and somatic impressions on clothes and the way the body carries them. With the dancer’s simple uniform as its point of departure, the wardrobe illustrates  the intrigue movement invokes within garments and accessories. 

The idea of infusing cloth with character evolves in an exploration of the history and stories reflected in the antique fabric furnishings of old houses in the British countryside, a source of recreation and inspiration for Victoria Beckham. It triggers a study of the active wardrobes of British country pursuits spliced with the codes  of ballet across tailoring, flou and accessories. This meeting of worlds is rendered in a purified palette informed by a Degas work on paper of ballerinas and reflected in the delicate, almost metallic pastels of Monet’s series  on the Houses of Parliament as well as his studies of Les Meules.
