Victoria Beckham unveils new collection at New York Fashion Week

Victoria Beckham showed off her latest collection at New York Fashion Week, declaring the dresses were designed to celebrate women's curves.

The 36-year-old former Spice Girl gave a select group of editors, stylists and buyers a preview of the spring 2011 collection at a mansion in Manhattan's Upper East Side yesterday.

The mother of three was among a raft of designers including Alexander Wang, Jill Stuart and Vivienne Tam presenting their collections as part of fashion week.

Wearing a black dress with cinched-in waist and shrunken cardigan, the singer-turned-designer impressed the fashion crowd with a running commentary on her designs, which include a white, strapless silk gown and a pink shift with an asymmetrical neckline.

The former Spice Girl said: "I just love what I do. I'm so passionate about fashion and the fact people are accepting me is really exciting.

"I've got a long way to go and I've got big dreams. For me it's about taking baby steps.

"I want to get it right. This season I'm adding handbags.

"I love women. I want to make women look beautiful and feel beautiful. I'm really enjoying the journey - I'm having a lot of fun."
