Weekly Refresh: Show Me The Light

By Leave a Comment

I know I mentioned Diane’s wrap dress before, but let’s face it, a dress that launches a billion dollar career deserves a post of its own! The so-called “happy accident” of a design that propelled Diane in the stratosphere of super-designer has been uniquely adept at being the perfect grab and go style for everything from a hot date to a working lunch. It is as relevant and beloved today as it was then – so proven by the fact that 30 year old vintage versions sell for three times their original sticker price! Congrats DVF, your creative genius has managed to cover the backs of celebs and us regular women alike across the decades.

It’s a wrap!

In an ode to the ever so lovely Ms. Diane Von Furstenberg and the 40th anniversary of her ubiquitous wrap dress,  the one item that made her DVF brand  successful. What better way to kick things off than with a glimpse into the recently launched Journey of Dress exhibit in L.A.; a walk down memory lane with the dress that started it all back in 1974. A-listers were around at the kickoff that paid homage to the sassy designer who made a name for herself with a single jersey creation; and cemented it with collection after collection pieces made for the every woman.
