The Diane von Furstenberg Spring / Summer 2016 collection shown off during New York Fashion Week is absolutely gorgeous! There is just something about seeing a blonde girl in a frilly pink getup that is both pretty and alluring while keeping up professional pretences that brings a certain ditsy lawyer with one incredible attitude to mind. And then we are faced with shirt skirts, wraparound tops and lovely belts cinching in the waists, along with a whole lot of dots, V-necks and translucent shirts. We notice that what we are looking at is very much what we would expect from the runways, while the hair styling more than the clothing itself commands our attention.
Inspired by the Roman goddess Fortuna, the Diane von Furstenberg spring/summer 2016 collection keeps moving between the ethereal and the very real, going from long flowing skirts to mesh crop tops with batching crop jackets and high waist ankle length trousers. If there is one thing we love most about it all, it is the golden butterfly theme that seems to take over in many parts of the collection, along with the focus on the brighter colors mixed in with magenta and darker blues. The butterflies, however, take the cake and look equally as amazing whether they appear on a black background or white, on a shorter hem or full length.
While some designers could certainly have done better overall, this is one beautiful line-up that deserves its applause and media coverage to the fullest. Whether a woman looks better going for the cute, alluring, classical or sultry appearance in her day, Diane von Furstenberg has got her covered from head to toe, literally speaking.
