Talking through the line-up of looks on the board in front of us, she explains that there “isn't one particular theme, it's more about a carefree attitude. I travel around a lot and I'm like a sponge”pointing to the burnt yellow, orange and blue printed pieces, “you can see that I've been to Africa, it might not be a huge thing but it's there in the colours. I think I've found the balance between living in London, spending time in LA and being in New York as well. You can see that influence throughout the collection. There is an urban, surf feel to certain things.”
The key move on here for Beckham is the injection of print, something she has only touched a toe into up to this point; “We haven't done huge amounts of print before so I'm excited about that.”She points out the surfer print - a mix of screen and digital printing- which has been “chopped up and down and put back together again and turned into a patchwork.”
As ever the starting point and draw of a Beckham collection is herself, “I've never really worn a lot of print before as I struggle with it but I try all these clothes on and I think we've made it really wearable.” The ease of the collection matches Beckham's cool and calm attitude, “I feel good. I'm relaxed and happy,” she says smiling

Backstage afterwards she described the show as “very liberating. I feel like I'm in in a good place, and I think you can see that in the collection.
