Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2014

It's been forty years since Diane Von Furstenberg created the iconic wrap dress that's become a staple in many women's wardrobes.  She celebrated with an exhibit that opened earlier this year, The Journey of A Dress, in Los Angeles.  Her fall 2014 collection at New York Fashion Week was a continuation of her journey.  The collection was full of bold patterns and metallic wrap dresses with deep-v necklines throughout.  Patterns seemed to have a 70s inspiration synonymous with the days of Studio 54 when she was in the early days of her career.  Annie Clark of St. Vincent performed through the runway show closing with with models all wearing gold metallic dresses and dancing to the music on stage.
