Posh turns sporty! Victoria Beckham ditches her signature ladylike look for a 'liberating' surfer-inspired NYFW collection
Victoria Beckham has built an empire on ladylike silhouettes, beyond body-conscious dresses and skyscraper heels, so it was a nice change of pace to see a hefty dose of ease injected to her spring/summer 2016 collection shown at New York Fashion Week Sunday morning.
Models wore soft leather sip-ons and platform Teva-like sandals, paired with flowing culottes, sporty separates re-worked in mixed prints, and fluid dresses.
'This season was all about bringing a new approach that for me is fresh and liberating,' Beckham explained in her show notes. '[They are] clothes to be interpreted by the individual and worn with freedom and a carefree attitude.'
But for the girl who likes a little more polish to her summer looks, Beckham didn't disappoint with a selection of plaid prints and all-white ensembles in refined, yet never constricting, silhouettes.

Long gone are the days of pencil dresses and platform heels for Posh Spice. Victoria Beckham is taking inspiration from former bandmate Mel C and embracing a slightly sportier vibe for Spring 2016.
Her latest show at New York Fashion Week included models wearing bomber jackets, surf board prints and a whole lot of gingham. Sorry Mel B, not a spot of leopard print in sight! But of course, the star of the whole shebang was the designer herself, who made an appearance at the end looking sleek in top-to-toe black.
Hers might not have been one of the catwalk looks, but this outfit is just as indicative of what's to come next year. We love the midi length of her simple skirt, which is counterbalanced by a subtly sexy split up the front. When teamed with a plunging oversized black blouse and a tousled ponytail, she's elegance personified.
If you're feeling inspired by VB you don't have to wait until 2016. Take a look at our edit below for some split front skirts that will do the trick! And from Asos to Adam Lippes, we've got all budgets covered.
