Juggling a career and a baby can be a tall order.

But Victoria Beckham showed she was taking it in her stride this weekend – with the help of some vertiginous heels.

The mother-of-four tottered out with her baby daughter Harper Seven on Saturday, before unveiling her latest collection at New York Fashion Week yesterday.

And Mrs Beckham, 37, garnered applause from an audience of industry critics with the spring-summer 2012 range from her self-titled label.

She sat in the front row during the show, which included two silences for the victims of the 9/11 attacks, and only stood to take a bow at its close.

The collection, showcased at the New York Public Library, marked a departure from her characteristic sleek, figure-hugging dresses.

Instead, baseball-style caps, racer necklines and drop-waist dresses reminiscent of tennis frocks gave a nod of recognition to the sporting world of her footballer husband David.

New look: The designer's colour palette of black, navy and neon orange looked fresh and interesting

The designer wore a black and pink bubble-hem dress from her Victoria by Victoria Beckham diffusion line for the show.

And in a skyscraper pair of black ankle boots, she appeared to have recovered from the slipped disc that forced her to make the unusual move of wearing flat shoes after the birth of her daughter.

On Saturday, she had raised eyebrows for wearing the same towering Louboutin boots with skintight black jeans while carrying the eight-week-old child.

Harper Seven was also dressed fashionably in a £90 black and white gingham frock from exclusive children’s designer Makie.

But while Mrs Beckham’s footwear may have seemed impractical, she showed that maternal instinct prevailed over fashion sense by wrapping the child in a pale wool knit blanket as she carried her outside.

Fans of Mrs Beckham’s label include Elle Macpherson and Kate Winslet, who wore a daring taupe Victoria Beckham dress to the premiere of her film Carnage at the Venice Film Festival recently.

Opera singer Katherine Jenkins and pop star Jennifer Lopez have also been seen wearing her designs.
