Fellow fashionistas, leaf colors are changing, and so are the trends for fall/winter 2010. As the thrill of chills approaches us early this season, fashionistas everywhere are trying to find the perfect designer to broaden their stylistic passion, and help them to find the perfect outfit for the holidays.
Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF,) who has been known for her phenomenon, the seed of what is today a full fashion house, the classic wrap dress, is truly the stylista role model for 2010. Her designs celebrate women’s strength, courage, and prosperity.
As designer queen of the fashion house, Von Furstenberg has created a line inspiring to both the public and other fashion icons. Her clothes emphasize femininity and spirit with timeless bright colored prints.
“The wrap dress is very Diane Keaton. It looks like it’s made for older women to wear, but it’s so feminine that if you add some neon accessories and John Lennon glasses, younger girls can pull it off too,” said senior Alexandra Crimmins.
The overall effect of the wrap dress was sparked by pure optimism. All fashionistas can use a hefty dose of that, and while the Belgium born designer continues her independence by designing clothes, fall/winter 2010 is approaching. Having sold fine jewelry, shoes, and clothing in over 56 different countries, Von Furstenberg is helping to lead the runway for fashion week 2010.
Fortunately, this feminine inspiration is the key to all up and coming fashion weeks for the New Year.
“I am excited for fashion week 2010, because I was traumatized by fashion week 2009. The styles for girls, and even guys were just too weird. I’m hoping 2010 will be a better year for the fashion industry,” said sophomore Nasir Kujenya.
Over the years, drama has come into play with some of the most feminine and couture ensembles. In previous years, this “dramatic,” goth-type feel would not have captivated audiences. This year, it’s different, and all about the drama.
According to omiru.com, this dramatic goth style is over the top, experimenting with some extreme silhouettes (harem pants, sharp shoulders), severely attention-grabbing details (sequins, knotted details), and bold colors like red, yellow, and black.
“Black is a great color that can work for any body type and skin-tone. Paired with red, black is given the right amount of edge and boldness to complete a look,” said senior Amanda Cipollone.
In winter, there’s no fashion without fun. Ladies, thank goodness you’re a woman, for fall/winter 2010 catwalks are being heavily influenced by the 1940’s style.
Trends come and go, and fashion repeats itself. Could you ever imagine the original classic wrap dress worn runway again? There’s a question to ask yourself in the morning when you wake up. So remember ladies, peace, love, and Diane Von Furstenberg.
