Looking through the clothing in the Diane von Furstenberg Fall collection, a word kept coming in: convenience. Dresses and tops are made to simply overlook; Passes and skirts have elastic waist – zipper closures are few in between. “What I think is really important about DVF is how women felt in the 1970s. They felt empowered and they felt free, and they did not feel narrowed,” Nathan Jenden explained. “It was really important for her and it is really important to me.”
During his second official passage at DVF, JDENDEN carefully not only considers all the different life events for which women are getting dressed, but all the different women who consider DVF as their go-to brand. During the day there was soft customization in broken chalk stripes that yielded a playful version of “Power Dressing”, worn with a forcing tweed bomber jacket; Before the evening, Boho-renovated pure dresses separates from artistic plaids, sporty knitted clothing and romantic but non-fragile waveed and trimmed dresses trimmed in pinstripes with a secret ‘love is life’ message in the material (said Jenden, “This is Diane’s Mantra.”)
For the younger set he put Kicky Mini skirts in knitted Houndstooth or von Furstenberg’s own favorite Ginkgo plant print; And matching tank tops and shorts inspired by lingerie. Outerwear was a strong part in the collection; Many of the jackets and jackets that are built to be reversible and with “look at me” rugged faux fur (in Burgundy or Hunter Green), or bold geometric patterns. Animal Print also played a leading role in both decadent and oversized iterations from the 80s, and abstracted pop art has the thought of the iconic portrait of von Furstenberg by Andy Warhol.
You cannot have a DVF collection without a wrap dress, and this season Jenden contained both loyal and more modern version of the style-the former recorded jumpsuits with Wrap Bodices, an architectural mini dress made of Pailletten Tweed and sweater that had none of the vintage associations of the classic tanger. ‘Some people say the [neckline on] The wrap dress is too low. And for me all these things are wardrobe problems. It is my job to offer wardrobe solutions. “
