Victoria Beckham launches new fashion line

It was a busy day in the Big Apple for Victoria Beckham - front row fashion, clothing line launch and new hairstyle.

As the former Spice Girl revealed her debut fashion collection to a handful of fashion's elite editors on Monday, she also showcased a daring new hairdo, a short spiky crop.

Super svelte Victoria deemed New York Fashion Week the perfect time and place to debut her new collection via private viewings at the historic Waldorf hotel.

She revealed even husband David had not seen all the finished pieces, although he regularly texted throughout the showcase for progress reports.

The novice fashion designer described her collection of ten dresses as "classy".

Each fashionable frock is typically Victoria Beckham, super figure-hugging, though all feature a modest below-the-knee hemline.

Available in sizes six to 14, she described the dresses as "suitable for all ages" and singled out curvy celebrities Nigella Lawson and Dame Helen Mirren as ideal customers.

Launching in February, each piece is produced in limited editions - there will be no more than 400 of the first collection - and will cost between £650 and £1,900.

"I've been working on this for 34 years," Victoria said. "I always wanted to be a fashion designer. Then along came the Spice Girls which opened a lot of doors for me. And, let's be honest, closed a lot.

"But those days are over. I was never going to be the world's best singer, but I hope I can be a good designer."
