Victoria Beckham Fall Winter 2025 explores the instinctive nature of dressing, capturing the everyday rituals, impulses, and moments of self-expression that shape personal style. The collection unfolds like a conversation between structure and spontaneity, where carefully constructed garments take on an effortless, lived-in quality. Presented in a stripped-down space, the show reflects the idea of the wardrobe as a blank canvas, a place where transformation begins. A mix of genres and emotions defines the soundtrack, mirroring the collection’s contrast between classic tailoring and experimental draping.
Beckham builds on a foundation of suiting, outerwear, and structured silhouettes, while introducing unexpected proportions and reimagined layering. Trench coats, raincoats, and parkas shift in scale, some magnified, some cropped, and others skewed across the body to create sensual shapes. Statuesque jackets, vertically elongated or sharply cut at the waist, pair with stirrup trousers that stretch the figure.
A striking illusion emerges in curved trousers that extend into sandal-like shoes, creating a line from hip to toe. The idea of adapting a partner’s clothing comes through in trousers suspended from a cinched belt, hovering horizontally around the waist to create the impression of a minimized midriff. Boyish influences run throughout, with references to historical undergarments that transform union suits into rompers and vests into bodysuits. Cropped cable-knit hoodies add softness to these structured looks.
Dressing in real time often involves quick adjustments, rolling a sleeve, tucking a hem, or reshaping a silhouette in the mirror. This instinctive self-customization takes form in sculptural scrolls at the hems of coats, blousons, and cotton poplin shirts. Dresses in wool and satin feel casually undone, finished with belt loops and raw-edged selvedge to suggest clothing reshaped on impulse.
Beckham nods to her own digital makeup tutorials, translating personal moments into design. Silk dressing gowns evolve into evening dresses, while Beckham’s embroidered VB bathrobe transforms into a pussy-bowed smoking jacket in toweling fabric.
The collection expands on Beckham’s ongoing exploration of how clothing interacts with the body. Pastel dresses and tops in draped georgette contour the figure before extending into fixed grey wool panels, sculpting the silhouette while enhancing movement. This technique carries into a trio of evening gowns inspired by Lucio Fontana’s Olii works. Just as Fontana’s Tagli series cut through canvas to reveal depth, these gowns feature wired holes at the neckline and abdomen, creating a dramatic perforated effect that draws the eye to the body beneath.
Oversized leather lace-ups, Chelsea boots, and pumps extend the leg with sculpted square or elongated toes, reinforcing the collection’s focus on strong lines and proportional shifts. A new magnified bucket bag, crafted from black nappa leather, introduces exaggerated volume, while a jewelry-box-inspired evening bag appears in nappa leather and suede in multiple sizes. The Dorian bag flattens into a sleeker shape, now rendered in grained leather and corduroy suede.
Victoria Beckham Beauty’s signature perfume bottles, designed with a nod to early 20th-century flacons, transform into miniature leather charms, bridging fashion and beauty in a subtle yet personal detail.
Music underscores the collection’s exploration of instinct and emotion, shifting between piano solos, trip-hop, and avant-garde classical compositions. The show opens with L’amour dans les années 80 by Lilian Barbe, capturing youthful perspectives on love, before transitioning into Noche by Sofiane Pamart, a piano piece balancing the everyday with the grand. The mood deepens with an untitled jazz and trip-hop track by Amon Tobin featuring Kid Koala, building suspense before the operatic intensity of La Wally by Wilhelmenia Fernandez. The soundtrack concludes with a Balanescu Quartet string ensemble, layering classical and modern influences, much like Beckham’s approach to the collection itself.
