Victoria Beckham ditches her skyscraper heels and makes a rare appearance in FLATS at NYFW... as she reveals she wants to start a shoe collection

She's known for her love of skyscraper heels and rarely steps out in anything other than towering stilettos.
But Victoria Beckham ditched her lofty platforms in favour of something altogether more sensible as she stepped out at New York Fashion Week on Tuesday.
Making a rare appearance in flats, the 39-year-old fashion designer rocked a striking pair of patent monochrome lace-up brogues as she navigated the icy pavements in the Big Apple.

prepared for yet another day of shows.

The designer's appearance comes as she revealed during her New York Fashion Week stint that she is keen to branch out from clothing and create her own show line in the future.
Speaking to Fashionista.com, she said: 'You know, I do want to start a shoe collection. If anybody here is a shoe designer, please do come and see me!
'I definitely think shoes is probably the next category that I’ll look at going into; it's quite a competitive category but I would love to go into [it].

Monochrome magic: Victoria looked typically stylish in her on-trend patent brogues

'I actually work with Manolo Blahnik on the shoes for my show every season and working with him is remarkable.
'I think it’s very complicated… I wouldn’t just want to do a signature shoe — I'd have to make sure I’m working with the right factories, do a flat…'
Sunday saw Victoria showcase her latest collection to the great and good of the sartorial world, with the British megastar opting for a 360-degree design approach that she said she hopes will be 'paparazzi-proof'.
The result was a sophisticated offering with a confident handle on pleats, ruffles and tailoring that moved the line forward from seasons past.
Victoria explained in her show notes:  'The collection is about the embodiment of a modern and sophisticated spirit.
'Reflecting this elegant sensibility my use of proportion and line has been further evolved. I have focused on the details within each design and a 360 degree application of curves, pleats, intarsia, ruffles and cut outs.'
