Crafted in bold primary colors, but with her quintessential polish, Victoria Beckham reworks menswear into sophisticated outerwear — and supplies us with another sleek selection of sheath dresses for Fall 2013. That Victoria Beckham brand of chic is at the core — minimalist and unfussy — but there's more dimension to that sophistication in plaid finishes and bold pops of color.
Victoria Beckham Fall 2013
For her Fall 2013 collection, Victoria Beckham filled the New York Public Library with a series of sleek looks in a palette of black, gray, and taupe with flashes of royal blue. Two coats stood out with their clean cuts and material combinations: one in a generous windowpane check on gray wool fused with a blue material, another bright blue with camel-colored sleeves. Beckham's skirts were cut a little longer than they've been in the past, with some hemlines falling to the calves. But her signature sex appeal was still there, courtesy of slits along the thighs.

Victoria Beckham and a Warmly Dressed Harper Arrive in Town For NYFW
Victoria Beckham paired a dress with knee-high boots today when she arrived in NYC. She touched down at JFK Airport with her youngest child, daughter Harper Beckham. Little Harper was ready to confront the Winter weather in a kids coat with a furry hood. Posh and Harper are ready for their latest Fashion Week. In just one week's time, Posh will show her Victoria Beckham Collection's Autumn/Winter 2013 designs. Harper's only 1 and a half years old, but she's already a NYFW vet. Harper was in the front row to see Victoria's last collection go down the runway in September. It's an exciting time for the whole Beckham clan. On Thursday, David Beckham confirmed his move to Paris Saint-Germain soccer team, and he's already reported for his first day of training with the squad.
David Returns Home While Victoria Preps For Her Icon Collection
David Beckham braved the rain for a stroll around London today. He returned home after an exciting trip to Paris. David announced that he will officially join Paris St. Germain during a press event at the club's Parc des Princes stadium yesterday. As David focuses on making his comeback to soccer, Victoria is focused on her own fashionable affairs. She carried a large white handbag for an outing in London this afternoon as news that she is set to release a new collection called Victoria Beckham Icon came out. The line will include a revamped version of seven of her most popular dresses with new styles to be offered throughout the year.
Although the couple are busy with their own ventures, they've also made time for family. Earlier this week, Victoria held hands with her youngest son, Cruz Beckham, for a stop by a fish-and-chips restaurant, and over the weekend, David and Victoria took all three boys to a Cirque du Soleil show in London.

The New Twofer: Would You Carry Your Tote as a Clutch?
If there's any surefire way to pinpoint the birth (or resurgence) of a cool-girl fashion trend, it's when we spot it on countless street stylers and A-listers alike. So, what's the latest styling cue on our radar? Totes and shoulder bags being carried as oversize clutches. We've seen everything from a classic quilted Chanel bag to a must-have Proenza Schouler iteration being turned into handheld staples. Why do we love it so much? It's a quick way to punch up an outfit, it adds more versatility to your bag's shelf life, and it offers up a different approach to statement arm candy. While this twofer craze may have started with medium-sized fare (look to Joanna Hillman, at far right, for edgier proof), leave it to Victoria Beckham to supersize the look. On a recent London outing, Victoria turned out one of her most dramatic tote-to-clutch moments yet. You couldn't miss her carrying her oversize colorblock Victoria Beckham bag — as a clutch — in London. And we have a feeling this won't be the last time she takes the look for a spin. In fact, here she is working the look on another recent occasion. With a stylish crew behind the twofer look, we turn it over to you now: would you carry your tote as a clutch?
