The 41-year-old fashion designer made the garment a key focus of her New York Fashion Week AW16 show at the weekend because she wanted to find a "new and fresh" take on the piece.

She said: "I used to wear [corsets] a lot and it felt very sexy and feminine.

"I wanted to find a way to bring that back and feel new and fresh."

In order to create a different take, Victoria removed the constricting boning, but adding the fitted basque shape to her knitwear and bodices on dresses.

The former Spice Girls star took inspiration of her own wardrobe for her latest collection.

She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper backstage at the show: "It's an evolution of my personal style. I looked back at the clothes I've worn and designed and decided to rework key elements."

Another stand-out outfit of the show was a high-waisted trouser worn with a cream satin bustier layered under a knitted black top.

Victoria said: "It feels like a chic, modern take on red carpet."

The British star was supported at the show at 25 Cipriani Broadway by husband David Beckham and their children Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 13, 10-year-old Cruz and Harper, four.
