DvF. J'adore. In my opinion, those initials rank right up there with JFK, FDR, MLK. I would even go so far as to say she has impacted society in a way that almost equals said historical figures. Though her talents do not lie in governing our nation or leading a social movement, it is difficult to think of the development of modern feminine dressing without Ms. Diane coming to mind. Her hallmark design, the knitted wrap dress, became such a huge staple in women's dress that it is now hosted in the collection of the Costume Institute at the Met. You Go Girl!
DvF's S/S 09 collection was off the heezy, if I may say so. The headpieces, oh the headpieces! Such brilliance, my dear Diane, really and truly. I am completely enamoured. Beautiful hair, beautiful headpieces, beautiful dresses. This collection appeared to be straight out of a fairy-tale storybook...from the 60s. No worries, she toned down the whole "dirty hippie" stigma and upped the glamour factor. Such dream-like collections are hard to come by, please don't wake me up.
Natalia Vodianova for Dvf...a collaboration with artist/writer/photographer Francois-Marie Banier. Watch the magic happen.
