There was a time when Victoria Beckham refused to be seen in anything but four-inch heels – but it seems the fashion designer has changed her tune completely by launching a collection aimed at the “intellectual woman” who also wears flats.

The Victoria, Victoria Beckham autumn/winter 2013 line is a solid departure from the era of bandage dresses and tightly tailored jackets of Beckham’s past. Instead, the designer has embraced a distinctly more masculine aesthetic, with structured shifts and lower hemlines taking centre stage.

“I feel like the Victoria, Victoria Beckham girl this season is an engaged intellectual with a sense of humour,” explained Beckham. “She can wear anything with aplomb yet she chooses the simplicity of a dress. She marches rather than walks, she drinks espresso, and she devours books and art and film. And she is subversively sexy without trying. I’d like to meet her...”

The no-fuss, elegant collection mirrors Beckham’s changing public facade, with the designer deigning to be photographed without her signature pout recently.

“I'm really excited about this collection, it's effortlessly cool and easy and we've developed a lot of textures, it looks like there's a lot of layers,” she explained.

“The idea is that you don't have to think about it. It looks like two pieces - jumpers and skirts - but it's just one piece and you can just zip yourself up and off you go.”
