Yesterday, Victoria Beckham created a stir on Instagram with an alluring photo of an effortlessly chic stretch-jersey rose satin crepe V-neck gown from her High Summer collection. The designer placed the model by a pool so dark as to nearly be black and declared that the stretch-jersey dress works wonders in elongating the silhouette. The glamorous gown was belted at the waist with just a little bit of embellishment, commensurate with the elegant, luxe aesthetic for which Beckham is recognized. And the extra little detail of those oversized sunglasses was just sublime in adding to the mystery of the glorious setting already.

The post was instructing the wannabes to shop the look at VictoriaBeckham.com and at her boutique on Dover Street–earned an off-the-cuff instant reaction from critics and fashion buffs alike. There were praise and dissent regarding the dress, which triggered animated banter.
One of the users ridiculed the use of sunglasses at night but admitted that the bold moves in fashion, much like celebrities, are generally excused. Another admirer of the gown jumped up to gush about that lovely shade of red, in fact, being a favorite of theirs. Yet another comment referred to the model as spot-on with her attitude for the collection.
Perhaps the persuasions were still left out. Another follower, meanwhile, admitted that while the dress barely looked good on the model, she just would never wear it for herself. At that moment, someone who had been quite impressed with the show threw in an “All hail the Queen,” followed closely by a storm of lurid emojis.
That Beckham has always been able to stir conversation with her clothing designs is not news. Be it via silhouette, fabrication, or how one of her pieces looks in a photograph, she sees to it that the industry must continue to talk. This is much of the same; this particular one blends elegance with just enough intrigue to keep you scrolling and talking.
The hashtag suggests that the VB High Summer collection holds more of the designer’s signature cocktail of modern sophistication and wearable glamour. And judging from this rose gown, there are obviously plenty of pieces in there ready to come screaming for attention- sunglasses optional.
