Usually the former Spice Girls member chooses to unveil her collections at New York Fashion Week, which takes place prior to London Fashion Week.
However, this year Beckham wanted to do something special to mark the occasion of her brand celebrating its tenth year, which is why she chose to display her creations in London instead.
Many high-profile individuals flocked to the Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac on Dover Street to feast their eyes on the Victoria Beckham spring/summer 2019 collection, including her husband and four children.
Her youngest child, seven-year-old Harper, was making her first appearance at London Fashion Week.
19-year-old Brooklyn, a budding photographer, shared a black and white photo of his mother backstage after the show on Instagram, with the caption: “Well done mum on another amazing fashion show.”
16-year-old Romeo and 13-year-old Cruz were similarly proud of their mother, while David Beckham also expressed his admiration for his wife’s collection on social media.
“Proud of mummy x 10 years and what an amazing way to celebrate in London GB,” he wrote on Instagram.
“We are so proud of you.”
The designer wrote on Facebook about why she chose to mark a decade of her fashion label at London Fashion Week, explaining that the new collection is both an homage to the past and a celebration of the future.
“Spring summer 2019 marks our first decade,” she wrote.
“This collection looks back, but also forward - it explores the codes of the brand, the identity I’ve built up over the ten years since my first show.
“Today is a milestone: our ten-year anniversary, and my first show in London.
“I’m really happy to be able to celebrate this season back at home.”
A number of well-known celebrities have demonstrated their fondness for Beckham’s fashion label over the years, including Kate Winslet, Sienna Miller and Cameron Diaz.
