Of all the 2012 Fashion Week collections shown in New York, Diane Von Furstenberg remains the best. Her collection is amazing. Her years in the fashion industry has really proven that she’s really an icon.
According to an interview with Fashion Channel (FTV), Von Furstenberg, the designer known for her wrap dress said that she was inspired by African women. She said that even if Africa can be depressing, the women there are still elegant.
“At first, when we were designing the fabrics, the inspiration came from Africa,” Von Furstenberg says, “Not the colonial Africa but the modern Africa, the Africa of today. And also Africa is the center of the world so the Africa of today is so strong…It’s about hope. So it’s either utilitarian work clothes or very overdone and very festive.”
And to commemorate 9-11, DVF ended her show at its best by giving away American Flags.
