A SPLASH OF COLOR AT DVF S/S 09


The Diane Von Furstenburg show was as pretty as always. The resort 2009 collection was based on the designer and her friends when they were in their twenties, and also pays homage to fashion icon Diane Vreeland, who taught us we could be "a little bit [god]/goddess, a little bit rock star."

JLo showed up, and pretty much brought down the house. Paparazzi flooded the runway to the point that front-row editors were steamed about the presence of too many actresses in their midst, and so the PR girls started kicking photographers out.

When the show finally begin I was delighted to see a little color in the mix. A number of black faces were cast- including Vogue Italia girls, Sesilee Lopez, Arlenis Sosa and Chanel Iman.
