Victoria Beckham’s Very Posh Takeover in an NYC Skyscraper: It’s a “Little Sanctuary in the Clouds”
Indeed, Beckham has always sought inspiration from art and architecture. “I’ve always seen fashion as part of a broader conversation,” the designer says. A decade ago, she commissioned Iranian-British architect Farshid Moussavi to create her London store’s breathtaking interior, set respectfully within its Georgian framework yet a dynamic testament to the modernity of concrete, soaring ceilings, and display cases inspired by Donald Judd.Victoria and David Beckham Embrace the Sunshine State With New Million MansionThe Beckhams are reportedly buying a waterfront Miami Beach spec estate“When I opened on Dover Street, I didn’t want a traditional retail space, I wanted somewhere you could exhale—somewhere that felt as welcoming as a home but could also double up as a space in which to showcase and celebrate other incredible talents,” she says, citing an ongoing partnership with Sotheby’s to curate exhibitions instore featuring seminal contemporary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yoshitomo Nara, and George Condo. It has become a passion for both the designer and her husband, former footballer David, after being first introduced to collecting by Sir Elton John. “Art sharpens my eye and teaches me to see differently.”A trio of evening gowns in this year’s fall-winter collection have been informed by the Olii works of 20th century Argentinian artist and sculptor Lucio Fontana. “Transposing his way of treating canvas as fabric, the material of the gowns is ruched around wired holes placed at the neckline or abdomen as if it were paint, creating an intense and erotic perforated effect,” she explains.Last winter, Beckham invited the British interior designer Rose Uniacke to reimagine the store’s interiors to spectacular effect. Against walls swathed in a rich forest green, clothing and accessories jostled alongside extraordinary works like a tapestry woven from stainless steel by Simone Prouvé, a 19th-century gilded console, and a midcentury Italian walnut desk designed by Gio Ponti. “Rose has an extraordinary eye,” enthuses Beckham. “Her ability to balance restraint and richness is so rare. That deep green we used felt almost like a fabric in itself; it cocooned the pieces and gave them a new energy. Pairing that with antiques, sculptural furniture, and layered lighting gave the collection a more intimate, storied context.” It was a reminder, Beckham says, that clothes don’t live in a vacuum. “They come to life through space, atmosphere, and the people that live in them.”Victoria Beckham’s pre-SS 2026 residency at Centurion New York runs from May 21 through May 23, 2025.
