What's Mannequins Lens? Well, ML is a section of my blog dedicated to the fashion industry..
This weeks ML is focused on the lovely Diane Von Furstenberg..
Diane von Furstenberg (middle) & Ashley Olsen (right) She's relatively to my knowledge although she's been out longer than I've been alive!
I first saw her appearance on Bravo's his reality series "Project Runway".. LOVE IT! It's an American reality show where the contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and usually have limited amount of time along with restricted materials and theme. Their designs are judged and one or more designers are eliminated each week. The show is also hosted by the lovely Heidi Klum who is married to none other than musician Seal.
Anywho! In my fashion economics class we viewed some of the designers' Spring 2009 collection from the 2008 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.. One of the many designs that caught my eye was that of Miss Furstenberg. Her Spring 2009 collection is inspired by the 1960's era where life for many individuals was lived carefree.. & fashion of course mirrors the times, so the garments that were worn displayed bold colors, floral patterns, and rather loose fitting.. along with many embellishments..
