Diane von Furstenberg
Just about every Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress collector in NYC showed up at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this evening to help the iconic designer celebrate 40 years of the wrap dress. I attended the event with one of Shoeholics magazine editor Chong Cha. Guests included the always friendly and lovely first lady of Bergdorf Goodman herself, Linda Fargo. Considering I just only started collecting as of last week, I was in my element meeting other collectors at the party. I posted about the acquisition here and where you could get one. The party was the appropriate place to see someone else in the same exact dress since it was afterall in honor of the designer. It was inevitable. The reason would be because the very same chain link print I wore was first released in 1972 and happens to be one of Diane’s favorites which she herself wore for the brand’s first advertisement campaign in the 70s. The same print is also a favorite of Michelle Obama. So I was glad I wore it in Diane’s honor. At the party, there were at least 7 cameras rolling, capturing every merriment. It’s to air later this coming fall. I made some new friends, got an autographed copy of “The Wrap” book and already eying my next Diane von Furstenberg piece to add to my growing collection. Happy 40th Diane! Congrats! 🙂
