Everyone is aware of Victoria Beckham's previous career as a fashion designer. But she has a completely new history this season. She said this at a preview of her most recent collection in Paris: "I aspired to be a ballet dancer from the time I was three years old until I was in the Spice Girls. You can always recognise a ballet dancer even if you are riding the tube because of her posture and the way she carries herself, which is one of the things that I find so wonderful about dancers. Leg warmers, an enormous pullover with a neckline that was stretched to reveal a shoulder, even hair nets were among the outfits Beckham donned as a dance student and were given a sophisticated makeover for a performance.

The first Victoria Beckham perfumes were introduced at this Paris fashion week, and the beauty lines introduced in 2019 have been profitable and now account for half of the firm. The debut of the fragrance "transforms Victoria Beckham into a fashion house," according to David Belhassen, the founder and managing partner of Neo, which purchased a £30 million minority investment in Victoria Beckham in 2017. Since moving her catwalk from London to Paris a year ago, Beckham has said she "feels very welcome" there. 

With the first Victoria Beckham perfumes debuting during this Paris fashion week, beauty collections introduced in 2019 have proven profitable and now account for half of the firm. The founder and managing partner of Neo, David Belhassen, stated that the fragrance launch "transforms Victoria Beckham into a fashion house." Neo purchased a £30 million minority investment in Victoria Beckham in 2017. A year ago, Beckham relocated her catwalk from London to Paris and says she "feels very welcome" there. But this collection included pieces that were a love letter to the British countryside where she spends most weekends. “There’s this lovely antiques store we go to on Sundays, and I love browsing the vintage tablecloths and napkins – they remind me of visiting my grandparents,” she said. Those vintage finds inspired cotton sundresses with scalloped edges and delicate doily cutouts.

A medieval hunting lodge on the eastern borders of Paris became a modernist catwalk for Loewe, the Spanish luxury brand that has been transformed into a cult label by the Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson. “A high-waisted trouser does something sensual to the body, but at the same time it looks very civilised,” Anderson said after the show. The “personality trouser” – high-waisted, wide-legged or otherwise characterful in some way – is a hot look this season, both on the catwalk and on the front row.
