This season’s autumn/winter 2019 collection presented in the Tate Britain’s central atrium oozed the brand’s usual cool elegance and minimalist chic. Watched proudly by the whole motley Beckham crew in the front row, as well as the designer’s sister Louise Adams, the collection was characterised by smart, slouchy tailoring and relaxed silhouettes that combined traditional masculine shapes with elegant femininity. Beckham injected her usual muted tones with gentle hints of lilac and pale teal, and occasional jolts of reds and electric blues and demure patterns took away any potential preppiness and lent garments an edge via Seventies-style chain-link prints or chequered red. Taking inclement British winter into account, Beckham exhibited irresistibly warm-looking tweed coats and capes as well as soft mohair knits and scarves, and blazers layered atop snug-fitting polo necks.
