New York Fashion Week: Diane Von Furstenberg
by lyndsie - September 8th, 2008
What is there to talk about, but New York Fashion Week and the fabulous run of catwalk couture, illustrating what we have to look forward to in spring of 2009? NYFW kicked off earlier this week, and I’ve kept a close eye trained on the proceedings. It might be a little bit early to pick a favorite, and in truth I already have a lot, but right now I am absolutely crazy about Diane Von Furstenberg’s groovy Rock Goddess collection. It’s actually a continuation of current trends, but with the added touch of DVF’s infamous, oh so classic innovations. Spring is just about guaranteed to bring shades of purple, metallic materials, new age tie dye, lace, pleats, flowing and draped clothing, jewels, sequins, and fabrics with a sheen. Keep a close watch, though, because there are a number of other designers to look out for and pay attention to, including Nicole Miller (but only some of her pieces), Tracy Reese, and Andy & Debb.
