DVF

Regardless of what season it is, Diane Von Furstenberg's design has been centered around colors and patterns. The play on the color palette of her fabric is full of flavor, almost as if I'm looking at an abstract painting. Pink and orange seems to be the matching couple of the season. The black and white pattern block will always be one of her signature looks. Also, swirling patterns of bright colors is another one of those signature design that she has revisited often.

A DVF top can easily be $200. I've selected a few pieces that are "DVF-esque" at Forever21, Target, and Express. Again, the theme is --- a simply play on colors. Hope the pieces that I've selected illustrate DVF's concept. All the pieces, with the exception of the white skirt, is $30 or less.

Whitney's show ("the city") on MTV has brought a tremendous amount of publicity for Diane Von Furstenberg. I mean really, as much as I love Whitney, do you think it's that easy to get into a high fashion position like that? I swear her interview consisted of 2 questions: "Why DVF?" and the next one was "When can you relocate to NY and tell us when your desirable start date is?" If it is that easy to find a job, I don't think we will see a 10% (and rapidly growing) unemployment rate on the news everyday!
