Diane von Furstenberg's show: A bold 'Rendezvous'

And the week is not complete without the glitz and glam of Diane Von Furstenberg. I love her. I love her aesthetic. I love her fit and I love her young boyfriend.

But I digress. Her collection was called The Rendezvous. Graphic images of puzzle-pieces on her run- of-show-hinted her grouping was about bold hued separates that could be paired with any of her prints. But von Furstenberg’s collection was softer than Reese with longer hemlines and blouses that flowed.

Some outfits were clearly Mondrian inspired, but instead of primary shades, von Furstenberg used pigment- heavy yellows tops and watermelon pinks bottoms separating them with a thick, black banded belt. And I loved, loved, loved the key-hole jumpsuit.

Of course there were celebrities: We spotted Solange Knowles and Barney Fashion Director Simon Doonan in the audience.

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
