How Posh is that? Sunday tea with Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham, pregnant with her fourth child and juggling a small group of the country's biggest fashion editors, demonstrated that she has not lost her sense of humor, despite the pressure. "I have a microphone, but you're all safe, I'm not going to sing," she said in the posh (pun intended) upper east side apartment where she showed the collection. Impeccably tailored dresses that married the minimalism of the 1990s with slight Art Deco details -- including head pieces that put the emphasis squarely on the draped, wrapped, and pleated dresses in shades of vermillion, saffron, and sand. It was one of the most civilized shows of the week, complete with tea service, a crackling fire, and a somber soundtrack that included Dionne Warwick's theme from "The Valley of the Dolls." She also proudly sent her 100th dress down the runway, proving that her staying power and talent as a designer far outweighs her talent as a singer.
