At New York Fashion week recently, the strongest influence in most collections was menswear. The masculine style seems to be taking over fashion trends, with ‘boyfriend’ jeans, jackets and masculine tailoring. Here are a couple of the highlights:

• Victoria Beckham – It seems that Posh Spice has finally found her talent, as she showcased 26 dresses from her collection in an intimate preview. As well as the sleek tailoring, drapery and textured fabrics, there was also a strong 1940s detective and Hollywood femme fatale theme in the strong, masculine trench-style pieces.

• Diane von Furstenberg – This established designer unleashed her masculine side in her much-anticipated catwalk show. A key theme was men’s jackets paired with feminine flowery dresses to signify both strength and sex appeal.
