“They’re clothes for you to take life as a party.” Diane von Furstenberg, AW2013

The iconic Diane von Fürstenberg wrap dress remains a classic to this day; just fresh and bold as it when it debuted in the 1970s.  Looking forward almost 40 years since 1976 feature in Vogue Patterns magazine, her elegant 1970′s ethos is a clear inspiration to her AW13 collection showcased as part of New York Fashion Week. Expectantly, the staple wrap dress made an appearance, but rather than the classic chain link pattern we are so familiar with, the DvF wrap dresses came in sienna suede or black with a leather lapel. The AW13 collection also featured coats with metallic flame licks, a purple croc jacket, shiny pink pants and a sprinkle of sequins could be seen from any row.

As described by Diane herself, this seasons collection are clothes for you to take life as a party.
