VICTORIA BECKHAM has finally unveiled her first ever much-hyped dress line, which she describes as having been "a lifetime in the making", at New York Fashion Week.

A ten-piece collection that owes more than a little the former Spice Girl's signature high maintenance look, the pieces - created from basket-weave cotton, fine gazar and georgette silks - are strictly tailored and lavishly embellished with embroidery and hand-sewn beading.

"Structure is an important word to use when discussing my collection," she tells WWD, which enjoyed an exclusive preview. "The corsets and belts that have been incorporated into my dresses have been made in such a way that they are comfortable and supportive. My clothes are designed for women from a woman's perspective."

The dress collection is Beckham's first foray into high fashion on the design side, although her dVb lines of jeans and sunglasses enjoy relative commercial success. It will be selling via private appointments with buyers over the next week.
