DVF FW10 Fashion Show Review

There are some designers who remain eternal fashion figures. And the likes of Miuccia Prada and Diane Von Furstenberg, do no wrong. Ever. This FW2010 season, at New York Fashion Week, she did not disappoint.

Diane reiterated the fact that you really can be feminine and masculine fabulously at the same time, in the same outfit.
We also saw a lot of creams, blacks, metallic, especially golds, limes and jewel studding. We also saw a plethora of velvet, ruched silk, tweed, felt, organza, Georgette and chiffon. The colors popped beautifully, giving it a wearable allure while also being ridiculously chic and high end.


There were gorgeous metallic tweed jackets, Pucci-esque chiffon dresses like the one pictured above, and true to form, some unusual prints.


Accessories were minimal, keeping the focus on the clothes. Hair and make-up was relatively simple as well, as it is at most DVF shows. The coin embossed navy dress on Abbey Lee Kershaw was tres magnifique. All in all, a raging success. But what less would we expect from Diane?

On The Runway: Diane von Furstenberg

Another fabulous designer in the NY fashion week is Diane von Furstenberg. Using really good fabrics, embroideries and patterns which included various prints some as leopard was just one of the amazing things about her show. A mix between being glamourus but yet comfortable was one of the main things behind her designs. Her collection included printed dresses, coats, mini-skirts, cardigans and tight leggings (some in leather). She also used fabulous hats to give her collection an even more unique and unforgettable look. -Amira Azzouz
