Fashion Week-Diane Von Furstenberg

I was soooo excited to see what Diane Von Furstenberg had brought to the table this year with her Spring 2010 collection, and I must say I was NOT disappointed. I absolutely LOVEEE Diane Von Furstenberg! She has to be one of my favorite designers because of her real-world clothes, and her work with prints! Its absolutely amazing! No one does it like her. This year her adventurous mood didn't end. With bold prints including tiger, leopard, and floral she brought a egyptian element to the show.She also added crazy sexy accessories which included gold heels, bangles, and hairpieces. Check out her whole collection here: http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2010RTW-DVFURSTE

Trend spot: Headbands/ Headpieces

Headbands/ head pieces are big this season! Just look at the Louis Vuitton Autumn/ Winter 2009 runway show. (His pieces are a little over the top though)

or Diane Von Furstenberg

It's all over!

I know, I know, when you think of head bands you think of cute little five year olds. Or it being extreme (ie. the models up above) But that’s simply not the case! They can easily transition into your budding adult life and you don’t need to be some runway model to pull off the look. Headbands are easy to wear and help your hair go from drab to fab in seconds! The ones with big bows are sometimes a little much and few people want to pull them off. But just choose whatever style of band suits you and rock it!

Whether it's hippie chic:

or classy and formal:

Or simple metal/plastic. It really is up to you! If you're on the go just grab one and pull it over your head with straight hair or pull your hair into a pony tail and place one on. That way, you're out the the door in a flash and instyle. Here are a couple I found. This one you can get at Nordstroms:

Tasha Feather Flower Headband

$48.00

These you can get at Urban Outfitters for $24.00

Or you can go to Claire's, Icing, or any accessory store and find even cheaper ones.

Have times really changed?

We all will never forget the times of slavery, the civil war movement, or even when Obama became our first black president. But despite that most recent triumph added to our American history, I have to ask: 

 Have times really changed?

Have we really come so much further?

Beyond prejudice and racism?

And of course I bet you're wondering what does that have to do with fashion? With those questions in mind we turn to the world of fashion and runway shows. It is fashion that still discriminates. The woes of the fashion industry have long been the frequent number of paper thin models to the ratio, or lack there-of even a ratio, of black models on the runway. What am I talking about? In an article by Thomson Reuters, he has said that many fashion observers have agreed that while the numbers have improved there's still too little use of black models or any diversity period. In NYC's Fashion Week where shows feature 12-25 models some used just one while others didn't use any at all.  So who's to blame? The modeling agencies who employ the models? Or the designers that pick and book them? In an essay written by ex-model turned actress; Joy Bryant wrote about her shocking first hand experience for the Huffington Post. In this excerpt it might be concluded that the designers are the cause:

 [Pictured: Joy Bryant]

 "I finally get to the room, where the VERY famous designer is sitting at a long table with a few associates. I say hello, hand my portfolio over, and proceed to "walk" (please reference "Top Model"). I do so and then the VERY famous designer says to me, with a smile of course, "Joy, you are soooo beautiful, but I'm not using black girls this season." (Insert sound of record scratching here). Yeah, he actually said that to my 'beautiful' face. He's lucky he didn't get a black eye."

 But not all designers have that backward form of thinking, widely known Diane Von Furstenberg has shown an increase in her number of ethnic/black models. Tim Gunn, creative director at Liz Claiborne and co-host of Bravo television's "Project Runway," is quoted in Reuters saying that he would like to see "more diversity among fashion designers. With more support for designers of color, that can help this issue as well." Regardless some step taken is better than none at all. What are your thoughts?

The Jet- Setter

For all you Jet Setters, Rachel Zoe has picked the most fabulous luggage from Diane von Furstenberg for her daily report today. Diane von Furstenberg made her arrival in the fashion industry in 1972.She first became known for her iconic wrap dress and after a few short years Diane had sold millions of dresses. Her brand DVF has grown into a global luxury brand with a full collection of ready-to-wear, accessories, swimwear, handbags, and footwear. I personally lovee her collections because it is all about prints, and many of you know how much I love prints! Diane von Furstenberg is the epitome of chic style and the queen of prints . She is by far one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. Diane's Upright Tiger Stripe Trolley is perfect for any fashionista who loves to travel in style.
