Step Inside David & Victoria Beckham’s New HK$186 Million Miami Condo
It must be great to be a Beckham. David and Victoria Beckham just bought a HK$186 million dollar (US$ 24 million dollars) condo in famed architect Zaha Hadid’s new-completed downtown Miami building, One Thousand Museum. This will be where the Beckhams will reside since David is the new co-owner of Miami’s new MLS team, Inter Miami CF.
In a statement by David’s team, “With the launch of Inter Miami CF, David and his team are spending significant amounts of time in Miami… One Thousand Museum is a very special building and we are excited to join the community there.”
Opened back in August 2019, One Thousand Museum located in Downtown Miami is one of the most coveted properties in the city. The building sees its own private helipad, making it Miami’s single residential building accessible by private airport.
In collaborating with Forbes, the building will provide amenities and hospitality-focused experiences for residents and guests that will compete with some of the most luxe hotels in the world. Amenities such as a Sky Lounge for dining and private events, an on-premise bank vault, a nearby private beach club, wellness center, spa, spin studio, and pools are available to residents. Click through the gallery below to check out the luxe amenities and where the Beckhams will be hanging out soon.

7 Bright and Bold Dresses to Get Ready for Spring in
As our old friend -- warm weather -- peeks through the clouds, it seems we are all beginning to feel a little excited, if not relieved. Not only because this marks the end of what seemed like a particularly cold winter in Hong Kong, but also because we can now officially start planning our spring wardrobes. And as we lift off the layers, we also lean on bold and bright colours to lift up our spirits. From fiery reds, brilliant blues, and vibrant saffron, here are this season's seven most eye-catching dresses for spring.
Self-Portrait Fuchsia Cotton Poplin Dress
Cut from cotton poplin, this long flowy fuchsia dress is detailed with frilled sleeves and the cutest tie open back. It's fitted at the waist before falling into the full panelled maxi skirt, making the style flattering and perfect for sitting pretty in pink at long leisurely brunches in the sun.
Shop: HK$3,250 | www.self-portrait-studio.com
Rejina Pyo Green Betty Dress
As if we needed another excuse to wear exaggerated sleeves, this Betty dress is simply gorgeous in a lively and herbaceous green that makes for a striking look, day or night. The dress also features an assortment of handmade buttons for a sophisticated yet unique style and convenient zip back.
Shop: HK$7,495 | www.rejinapyo.com
Gabriela Hearst Saffron Wrap Dress
Inspired by the grace of Greek goddesses, this wrap dress in brilliant saffron is as elegant as it is bright. Created in a glowing crinkle crepe silk-cotton blend, the result is relaxed and optimistic. The dress also features an overhand border finish on the neckline and a draped cape-effect back.

Sies Marjan Sapphire Blue Satin Dress
Rich and glossy is the name of the game here and this cool sapphire blue dress in hammered-satin is the standout dress to make heads turn. A softly draped neckline lets the figure-skimming silhouette of the dress shine, and will make you shine during those balmy evenings too.

Victoria Beckham Purple Ruffle Cami Dress
The floaty fit and ruffles of this cami dress exudes romance that can be worn during mellow spring days and into the evenings. Made from silk crepe de chine, in a bright amethyst purple, the off-shoulder neckline shows off handmade flowers that add to the utterly feminine feel of this dress.

The Best Looks from London Fashion Week Autumn 2020
Hot off the heels of New York Fashion Week comes the shows on the other side of the pond. We look to the designers showing at the British fashion capital for the looks of the new season. For those who missed the shows, catch all the action in our recap of the best looks we spotted from the runways of London Fashion Week Autumn 2020.
Burberry
[gallery ids="192665,192661,192662,192664,192663"]
Burberry Creative Director Riccardo Tisci explores British fashion following the recent Brexit, focusing on the classic English theme with its iconic checks and plaid on suiting silhouettes and sporty separates. The house stayed true to its heritage as its neutral palette of beige, tan and black dominated the catwalk. Unlike its previous shows, Burberry’s line up of models were the most high-profile A-listers with the likes of Kendall Jenner, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls and Irina Shayk.
Victoria Beckham
[gallery ids="192668,192666,192669,192667"]
Described as “gentle rebellion” by the designer herself, Victoria Beckham was all about English tweed, chunky overcoats, and huge sleeves this season. “I was thinking about the tension between refinement and rebellion. I was inspired by the different ideas of women – different characters, different moments and different attitudes – with no restrictions. It’s about breaking the rules within the context of the brand codes and losing my inhibitions,” the former Spice Girl describes. That translated to cutout knits, reinvented suiting cuts, thigh high leather boots, and shorter skirts – a changeup from her iconic elegant midi length dresses from previous collections.
Christopher Kane
[gallery ids="192670,192672,192671,192673"]
Autumn/Winter 2020 was all about the fall of Adam and Eve – the triangle – the biblical symbol for the eye of God on the runway of Christopher Kane’s show. “The triangle is the most powerful, strongest shape in nature,” the designer explains. The triangulation is seen recurring throughout the collection in both bold and minute ways, from cutouts to motifs to slits and splices.
JW Anderson
[gallery ids="192675,192678,192674,192676,192677"]
Size matters. At least that’s the case at JW Anderson’s Autumn 2020 show. “Mixed-media art, taken from the familiar to the beautifully strange, blowing them up to extreme volumes” Anderson describes. A lot is oversized in the collection – silhouettes, sleeves, collars, lapels, to even the Cuban chain detailing on accessories. The trench coats, tea-length skirts, bulbous dresses and suit jackets are all blown out of proportion. Pair the exaggerated size with tiers of metallic tinsel and you’ve got JW Anderson’s take on nouveau chic.
Erdem
[gallery ids="192679,192680,192681,192682"]
The king of experimental textiles, Erdem Moralioglu presents a collection of varying textures juxtaposed against each other in individual looks for Autumn 2020. Inspired by photographer and designer Cecil Beaton’s portraits of the 1920s high society, Erdem went down the route of exaggerated and fantastical. Sheer metallics, brocades, flowing silks, floral embroideries and feather headpieces ruled the catwalk this season.

Victoria Beckham ventures into the world of beauty
From Posh Spice to fashion mogul, there's no denying that Victoria Beckham is a force to be reckoned with. Renowned for her finely-tuned business acumen, the fashionable entrepreneur has decided to take on the beauty industry with the reveal of Victoria Beckham Beauty at this year's London Fashion Week.
Behind the brand is Estée Lauder’s former global head of makeup marketing and product development, Sarah Creal, who co-founded the brand with Beckham. The focus of the collection is clean beauty solutions with sustainable, cruelty-free formulas and eco-conscious packaging. 
[inline-quote author="Victoria Beckham"]"Eyes are very signature for me. The products may be new, but they’ve been a lifetime in the making. I have always been beauty obsessed, and I want to create beauty solutions that address my customers from head to toe, inside and out. It is all about making my community feel like the very best versions of themselves."[/inline-quote]
[caption id="attachment_164832" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Smoky Eye Brick (US$54), Satin Kajal Liner (US$26), Lid Lustre (US$36). [/caption]
Channeling Victoria Beckham’s signature looks, the collection is predominantly focused on eye makeup with the Smoky Eye Brick being a core release. The satin matte eyeshadow palette comes in four complementing shades; so far, the brand has launched four versions: Signature is a neutral smoky eye for everyday wear; Tuxedo is for a cool smouldering eye; Royal for a bold, fashion-inspired look; and Tweed a deep neutral with warm shades of terracotta and deep plum. Individual single-tone eye shadow pots (Lid Lustre) and a highly pigmented, smudge-proof pencil eyeliner (Satin Kajal Liner) are also available to complete the look.
[gallery ids="164844,164842,164843"]
Alongside eye makeup, Victoria Beckham Beauty is also planning to put out lip makeup, a skincare line and even a fragrance. When the rest of the collection will hit stores is yet to be announced, but on VictoriaBeckhamBeauty.com, the navigation tabs are already in place, so we can’t image it would be too long before beauty buffs can get their hands on the designer’s full range of products.

Victoria Beckham Is Now a Beauty Brand
It was really only a matter of time before the former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer entered the world of beauty. Well, that time is now. Posh Spice’s new venture, Victoria Beckham Beauty, debuted at her eponymous fashion label’s Spring/Summer 2020 show yesterday at London Fashion Week.
Behind the brand is Estée Lauder’s former global head of makeup marketing and product development, Sarah Creal, who co-founded the brand with Beckham. The focus of the collection is clean beauty solutions with sustainable, cruelty-free formulas and eco-conscious packaging.

Tiffany Hsu, Fashion Buying Director of Mytheresa.com, Reveals What’s Hot This Season
Tiffany Hsu, fashion buying director of the online womenswear retailer Mytheresa, talks about the corsets and exotic prints that have taken over the runways this season, and how changing consumer attitudes affect Mytheresa’s selections.
What caught your attention in autumn/winter 2019?
From New York, I loved The Row for their oversized roll-neck in iterations such as silk and shearling, and Gabriela Hearst for her elegant and feminine statement coats and floor-length looks. I was also excited by Khaite’s debut runway show, where Cate Holstein presented an array of wearable looks that felt feminine and modern in a new and fresh way, from the incorporation of hand-painted zebra prints, to silk dresses and whipstitch-detailed outerwear. In terms of emerging talent, Deveaux New York was also very much on our radar for its chic tailoring.
From London, Victoria Beckham’s show was made for the modern woman -- the skintight thigh-high boots in electric blue, leopard print and nude were so refreshing against the formal tailored looks. I loved the open-toe styles and pumps in bright colours, too. Combined with a comfortable heel height, they make a great statement even when worn with the most casual workwear look. Simone Rocha also had some beautiful eveningwear styles, proving the corset trend is back and more statement than ever.
[caption id="attachment_164100" align="alignnone" width="2358"]
Bottega Veneta[/caption]
Bottega Veneta had to be the most hotly anticipated collection in Milan, and new creative director Daniel Lee didn’t disappoint. The collection provided the perfect balance of androgynous styles and powerful silhouettes, particularly with the use of leather across full looks and accessories; the cube-effect shoulder bag is going to be another coveted item after the success of the pouch so far this season. The Attico also had a refreshing presentation, which offered some of the best partywear in the brand’s cult sequin dresses.
I loved Paco Rabanne’s collection in Paris for its mash-up of floral on floral in different exotic prints, combined with over-the-top statement bling. Jonathan Anderson presented another stand-out show at Loewe with his chic checked outerwear and glamorous, understated evening bags. At Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello took the collection to new levels; the outerwear was better than ever with oversized shoulders and straight cuts, finished in classic shades of black and cream.
What key trends did you notice?
Black is the new black; the shade dominated the runways in a fresh, revived way -- Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta did this especially well in a subtle yet chic way. Dramatic oversized shoulders were key from the likes of Isabel Marant, who offered classic shearling and tweed styles with extra padding to elevate the looks. Chain mail was prominent across accessories as earrings, mini-bags and belts, which were more glamorous and statement than in previous seasons with a “more is more” approach. Finally, midi-boots are the key style to watch in footwear.
[caption id="attachment_164098" align="alignnone" width="3456"]
Isabel Marant[/caption]
What categories/new designers are you most excited about?
Marine Serre is one of the most promising new talents that we already offer on Mytheresa. Our fashion-savvy customers love her bold designs and all-over prints that are meant to be worn in several layers. The T-shirts and dresses as well as the printed tights and long-sleeve tops were an instant sell-out. For the new season we’re also bringing on Kwaidan Editions by the London-based designers Léa Dickely and Hung La. I fell in love with their leather suiting and ’40s tailoring in bold colours, which are very on trend but at the same time wearable for everyone.
[caption id="attachment_164102" align="alignnone" width="3394"]
Loewe[/caption]
Some key themes -- sustainability, emerging talent, diversity -- have captured the industry. What are your thoughts on them and do these new concerns within the industry affect the way you buy?
These new themes are great as they offer room for fresh new ideas and approaches. As we see that the customer is also starting to pay more attention to these topics, we try and expand our buy accordingly to reflect this new found engagement with these important issues.
Which consumer attitudes of spring/summer ’19 did you take into consideration when buying for autumn/winter?
I think there’s a focus on our planet more than ever. Designers are inspired to raise awareness of various eco topics through this, but also to look to nature as a key source of design inspiration because of its beauty. For many designers it’s not a trend, but rather a brand identity that their collections are based on. We picked up Nanushka last year, which offers some incredible vegan leather pieces that don’t compromise on style and are also practical.
How is buying for online retail different from or similar to buying for bricks-and-mortar stores?
For online we need to make sure the product is visual and that all the details translate well online. We really focus on depth rather than just width -- we have one of the largest offerings in terms of runway looks and pieces compared to our competitors.
