Diane von Furstenberg says of her collection “A glamorous
vagabond....she’s on the run with her dreams and colours!”
Famous for her wrap dress, this season the collection is aptly called ‘Bohemian
Wrapsody’
And the story behind the inspiration?:
A painter, a poet, a dancer, she is a free spirit floating towards
the intersection of everything. In dancing skirts and the ballerina sweaters
from which the wrap was born, she is full of hope for what the night will
bring.
From the East, she rises with the sun wrapped in golden love knots.
In a cocoon of cloud wave jacquard, she emerges in black and white
with a burst of poppy red.
She dreams in rich jewel tones like bright iris with swirls of
firebird sienna, in flowing crepe and shimmering velvet.
She slips a shirt dress over soft pants, layering for her journey
with a chic nonchalance and a devil-may-care approach to print; bold and wild
and mixed to perfection, her Runaway bag flying behind her as she catches a
train.
By morning, her eyes will open to the West, to the curtain call of
Ballets Russes, a moveable feast of fashion and music. Here, a rose print grows
under the moonlight.
A celestial print pops on cobalt blue.
The curtain opens to a
bouquet of golden wraps, a gilded celebration of the silhouette that started it
all. She is statuesque and free. Cue the Bohemian Wrapsody.
