{ Fashion Week } DVB Spring Summer 2011

About Mae

Mae Lu is a Canada-born, So-Cal-raised Asian American 30 Something, living a dream with her hubby & dog in the magical kingdom of Hawaii.

This red-lipstick aficionado designs websites for a living and runs a fledgling lifestyle YouTube Channel in her spare time. On the weekends, if she's not filming, you can find her behind the lens of her Sony A6000, shooting scenery in Hawaii, hiking the hills and ridges of her beloved island home, or chasing the perfect sunset.

Why "thereafterish."? Because "and they lived happily ever thereafter" is just half of every story, and this is mine.

Victoria Beckham revealed her new collection for her Spring Summer 2011 line of DVB at New York Fashion Week.

Surprisingly, the line was full of shapes much more comfortably and loosely drawn, which would appeal to and flatter women with body shapes other than the traditional gaunt, tall, long-legged, bone-protruding types who strut hard down the walkways. In bright, citrus and exotic spring bouquet-inspired colours of vibrant daffodils, citron, royal purple, and blushing rose, the dresses were both professional sheaths and frocks as well as evening gowns to make even the most naive ingenue actress catapult to the top of best dressed list. Having dressed a slew of varied body-types, such as Jennifer Hudson (voluptuous & curvy), Eva Longoria (Petite), to Demi Moore (hourglass bombshell), it appears as though Posh Spice has learned to value of more comfortable dresses than the skin-tight pieces we normally see her clad in.

These pieces have easy, effortless movement with a timeless, clean-lined grace that other lines during Fashion Week eschew, yet with some modern, current details such as beautiful gathering, exposed zippers, iridescent sheen, studding and diamond bling to keep the look modern with a slight edge.
