Drivers Start Your Engines

I can’t seem to find a clever or elegant way to articulate my new must-have obsession, but I love this accessory that I foresee as a trend as the brisk winds begin to blow. Driving gloves seem to be the new avant-garde statement item. They are chic and edgy. Best of all these gloves are practical for fall, which is usually hard to come by in the name of fashion. Call me crazy, but I am officially on the hunt for a great pair. I think I prefer the full finger style, I may not be tough enough for the cutoffs...?

All That Glitters

As a new intern in design at DVF I thought it was only appropriate to show some of my work. After hours of cutting and sewing the results of our spring 2009 collection resulted in a beautiful show of glitter and embellishments. Every look had something special from beads to sequins and each topped off with an intricate headpiece. The headpieces are way cool, but take it from me... took a long time to make (I spent countless hours working on them). But in the end it was all worth it and all very exciting. Here are a few looks from the show. Enjoy!

Mother Nature

This fall designers like Burberry Prorsum are showcasing a nature inspired collection in perfect harmony with the season it represents. I may be biased as it is my favorite, but fall is full of splendor, with the brisk weather and colored leaves it is no wonder designers are trying to replicate that serenity in their pieces. Burberry Prorsum has mixed street wear beanies with feathers and earth tones. This synergy had a fantastic result making mother nature a trend for fall 2008. Integrate some of this earth child look into your wardrobe.
