Victoria Beckham enjoyed a rare public display of affection with her family after her New York fashion week show.
The 43-year-old showed her fall/winter 2018 collection in New York on Sunday in front of her husband David and three of the couple’s four children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
Her Sunday morning catwalk show was her last before she joins London fashion week in September.
“It feels like the right way to round off showing in New York,” Beckham said of the new location for the show, which moved this season from the cavernous Cunard building in the financial district to two Upper East Side drawing rooms. “It’s more intimate, like my first shows were. I wanted this to be a nice thing to do on a Sunday morning. I want people to enjoy coming to my shows.”
The ‘intimate’ venue was, in fact, a sumptuous Renaissance-style mansion that was one of the largest private houses in Manhattan when it was built in 1918 by the architects of Grand Central Station. David Beckham and the couple’s three youngest children kept Anna Wintour company in the front row.
The decision to move from New York to London is considered a blow to one fashion capital and somewhat a coup for the other.
Ralph and Russo were recently enticed to showcase their first ready-to-wear collection in the British capital and Tommy Hilfiger hosted a fashion extravaganza last September, solidifying London’s strength on the world fashion scene.
So, it’s not so surprising that the Victoria Beckham brand would follow suit.
