Shop the Shoot: Victoria Beckham and OTT

At New York Fashion Week last September, Victoria Beckham sent a troop of models down the runway, all wearing easy-to-wear separates that embodied chic and forward-thinking summer style. One ensemble in particular resonated with our fashion editor, Sarah Maisey, so much, that she has continuously been borrowing it for the past couple of Luxury magazine fashion editorials, eager to make it work in one story or another. It was here, at Alila Jabal Akhdar resort, located within Oman's Al Hajar mountain range, that the look finally got used.

The Victoria Beckham outfit in question comprises a ribbed jersey sleeveless top and slouchy pair of culottes — both in white, with subtle panelling for added flounce. We paired it with an intricate embroidered jacket by Dubai-based fashion label, OTT, stocked at S*uce stores in the UAE. With bold bishop sleeves, the jacket combines rustic, woven cotton with printed silk and vibrant embroidery, making it a truly statement-making piece. Unique shoes by Christian Louboutin, featuring raw rafia tufts, provided fitting footwear for the outfit, which was completed with dangly earrings by Celine, and a gold ring from Dubai-based D by Dalia.

There are a number of trend lessons that can be taken out of this single shot from our fashion story, titled The Edge of Reason. All-white ensembles are very much on trend this summer season, and colourful jackets are a great way to throw in pops of colour and texture. Ribbed jersey textures make for comfortable loungewear that can be worn out of the house, and cropped culottes create interesting body proportions. Bold, geometric jewellery can give further attitude to an outfit, but should be used sparingly, lest it overpowers the other, equally beautiful elements of your look.
