Unwrapping fashion

I enjoy discovering the history behind every fashion piece, I like finding out how it came to life and how it evolved in time, I love reading into fashion. It’s just the case with Diane Von Furstenberg: The Wrap. Diane von Furstenberg arrived in the fashion world in 1972 with her simple knit jersey wrap dresses. “I design for the woman who loves being a woman.” It became her signature piece, with an iconic status in the fashion world. And she continues to create every collection making sure that, as style.com says, “there is no shortage of feminine frills” there. Have a lovely weekend! 

Nu e fascinant sa descifrezi istoria fiecarei piese de moda, sa descoperi cum a luat nastere si cum a evoluat in timp? Este si scopul cartii Diane Von Furstenberg: The Wrap. Diane von Furstenberg a intrat in lumea modei in 1972 cu ceea ce avea sa devina semnatura ei si care a ajuns sa aiba un statut iconic in moda: rochia petrecuta. Si cu fiecare colectie lansata creatoarea sa continua sa faca ceea ce stie cel mai bine: sa celebreze feminitatea. Weekend placut!

 

The wrap dress, of course, and my favorite outfit from this season’s collection. I liked it much more than the spring-summer 2011 one.

    I love the pictures you’ve chosen for this post. Tocmai citeam despre Diane von Fürstenberg inainte sa vad postul tau. I thought the McQueen dress Michelle Obama wore to the State Dinner was beautiful, nu inteleg ce a nemultumit-o pe Diane.

      @Laura
      I liked the dress too. I don’t know about Diane’s remarks on Michelle Obama’s choice.

        Uie aici articolul. E putin cam nemultumita ca a ales un designer englez si nu unul american. https://www.styleite.com/media/cfda-michelle-obama/

          @Laura
          Da, stiam de nemultumirea produsa, nu stiam cine e presedintele CFDA. Ceea ce spune scriitorul articolului are mult mai mult sens decat argumentele reprezentantilor Consiliului Designerilor de Moda din America. Redresarea industriei de moda americane ar trebui sa inceapa de altundeva si Michelle Obama face oricum destula reclama designerilor americani. Interesant: la o cina de stat americano-chineza ar fi fost “politically correct” sa poarte o rochie creata de un designer american si produsa in China.
