Victoria Beckham‘s Fall/Winter 2020 collection was shown at Banqueting House on Sunday, Feb. 16, during London Fashion Week. The designs explored traditionally feminine and masculine dressing, and how the VB woman engages with both of these silhouettes to create a modern, eclectic wardrobe – she looks equally as powerful in a structured suit jacket as she does in a billowing, bishop-sleeved dress.
The collection is offered in a neutral, easy-to-wear palette that carries an air of traditional poshness – mostly black, navy, gray, white, and earth tones. Although not a color-heavy collection, there are pops of primary colors – sunny yellow, striking red, and vivid cobalt. From the palette to the design details, Victoria Beckham F/W 2020 is an exploration of duality, specifically different ways of expressing sensuality and power as a woman.
Ahead, we’ve honed in on a few key details that make Victoria Beckham’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection truly memorable, from mystical clasping hands belts with hints of inspiration from surrealist fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, to fresh new interpretations of your everyday jumper, attention-commanding thigh-high leather boots, and tons of pieces in VB’s choice Winter print – checks, mate. Keep reading for the key details you might have missed and the entire collection.

Victoria Beckham Fall/Winter 2020: The Clasping Hands Belt Buckle
The clasping hands belt buckle was first made popular by famed Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who was heavily influenced by the surrealist art movement. Her Fall/Winter 1934 collection featured miniature hands as belt buckles, bag closures, and buttons of coats, cloaks, and jackets.
