Diane von Furstenberg, I’ve always been a huge fan! The first dress I ever bought from you was one of your quintessential signatures, a three-quarter length sleeve wrap dress in the splotchy ink-print, you know, the same one you wore while posing in front of your Warhol portrait. I thought I was trés chic, and still do, when I wear it. It was a stroke of luck that I found that dress in that very special print, but now, finding a vintage print in your collection will be easier than ever: introducing DIANE, a new collection of twenty archived prints re-released in newly tailored silhouettes The collection launches February 28th, and will include (of course) the iconic wrap dress styles, ready-to-wear accessories, shoes and swimwear. Can’t wait? Me neither!
Check out the new video preview of the collection!

The highlight of my fall 2011 fashion week was being able to interview Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia backstage before their presentation (video to come soon!) and then speak with Sachin again in the arena of the clothes during the event. There’s something to be said about a well-edited collection, that goes straight to the core of the mission at hand, with a pronounced concept that sees its way through. For Sachin + Babi fall 2011, it was that of motorcycles, with an edgy nature balanced out by a softness in the draping of the clothes and well-suited cuts. The jewelry, which was equally as amazing, was also created by the husband and wife design duo, who were so calm and collected, not to mention completely down to earth, when I met them for the first time an hour before the show. With a background in textiles and home design, good style transcends all genres, as Sachin + Babi proved this season.
