von Furstenberg: Print over Signature Wrap
February 6, 2006 by Designer Ella
Diane von Furstenberg’s show was slightly less about the wrap dresses (that originally gave Diane a name) than it was about smart prints and professional suits. The soundtrack even portrayed the show’s theme; “Working Girl.” There were still dresses, many shirt dresses, but they were mostly overshadowed by feminine and fabulous jackets, and were best in simple colors with classic, feminine shapes or simply for the prevalent librarian meets Native-American-clothwork meets logger prints.
Sexy Scholastic wasn’t the only feeling of Fall for the show; many models wore mink-trimmed ankle boots. What should be luxury, and what could be warm and comfortable, sure, instead looks out of place and chunky—in soft mink!
Other shoes were mostly black and gold platform sandals, but I’m more excited to see the trend turn into platform heel and wedge boots, than continuing what we’re getting now for the warm weather; two, even three seasons ahead.
Overall the show was beautiful, with silhouettes that celebrate women. With the lighter focus on wrap dresses, Diane’s signature bold prints shine on their own, but as sophisticated mature in subtler colors and smaller shaped prints, that says success for her design ability and the collection.
