Diane von Furstenberg Pre-Fall 2015

[marcBarna]

By Bridget Foley

DVF creative director Michael Herz knows the house mandate. “It’s about balancing street modernity with the girliness of Diane,” he said. Pre-fall presents another balancing act, that conundrum of wear now (May through August), but look autumnal — and look right, whether in the city or away — the latter articulated not as some stuffy vacation spot but as “the festivals.”

The sensible solution (the ethos of DVF is at its core pragmatic) was a palette reflective of late-October leafiness, but worked in lightweight fabrics with enough flou for a girl to waft in step at Coachella and Burning Man.

Playing into the boho: the fabric mélange. Some looks featured different constructions of the same print, and others, mixes of new and archival patterns inset with leather. On a crisper note, a short, denim-collared shirtdress made from wide strips of lace dyed different shades of blue worked the modern, girly angle to a snappy T.

The patterns are making my eyes hurt. I don't like this at all. 50% of this could be sold at Free People or Anthropologie or whatever.

What is really new to me is the print though.There are many cute pieces in this so to me it's fairly decent.
