Victoria Beckham’s Appointment-Only N.Y.C. Fashion Week

The internet has been buzzing for months about the possibility of Victoria Beckham showing at Fashion Week, and now that it is finally here, we can confirm that Posh is in fact launching her dress collection this week. The designer is skipping the runway for a more intimate experience for the fashion elite. The 10 look collection of signature day and evening dresses will be showed by appointment only to top retailers and high-end fashion magazine editors. “This is a very personal collection for me,” says Victoria in a released statement. “I’ve always been drawn to intricate, seam-detailed designs as their structure enhances the flattering shape of a woman’s silhouette.  My signature dress collection is timeless, a modern interpretation of my inspirations.” Posh’s dresses are definitely a reflection of her own style. Created from fabrics like fine gazar and georgette silks, basket-weave cotton, taffeta and organza inlay complete with embroidery from India and hand-sewn beadwork, Victoria’s latest design fortay is the essence of sophistication and femininity. Dresses will range in retail price from approximately $1,400 – $3,500 and be sold in specialty shops and upscale department stores. Even though we won’t get to see the much-anticipated collection go down the runway, just knowing Victoria will be here at Fashion Week is exciting — maybe we’ll run into her at Christian Siriano’s runway debut at the tents?

Stellar stars like Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, Kate Bosworth and Ellen DeGeneres are getting set to Stand Up To Cancer, showing their support at the benefit gala that will air commercial-free on ABC, CBS and NBC tonight. Celeb-loved jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer is doing her part to raise funds with an exclusive STAR necklace — and she’s donating all net proceeds from the sale to Stand Up To Cancer. Jennifer Aniston, who’s slated to make an appearance at the gala, has already been spotted wearing the pretty pendant in 18K gold. You can support the cause — and look gorgeous doing it — by clicking over to standup2cancer.org to purchase your own STAR necklace, which retails from $250 for a silver star to $3250 for a dazzling diamond version. – Samantha McIntyre
