Resort 2011 - Diane Von Furstenberg

The queen of prints as she is know to many, of course did not leave her claim to fame for anything else but just showed us why she is so good. This collection's runway was inspired by a 1983 photo of her sitting in a chair in front a wall of mirrors, thus explaining the outfitted models, taking a vain stare at themselves before stepping through a key hole and strutting the vintage beach looks down the catwalk.

For me this showing by DVF, really kept me captivated because not only were the prints great but a real graphic representation was created with how the stripes and other prints were laid on the garments, also the layering of sheers or cutouts over prints, it was the edgiest yet I have seen by DVF, and I loved. The colour scheme was subdued with a slight pop of colour here and there...and the looks ranged from wrap and strap dresses, shorts, bikinis, rompers and even a trench that could be worn after the season has passed, most graced by the accessory of the show, the visor. The other accessories were decent but the orange and blue suede heels with the pattern cloth tie around were excellent, who wouldn't want those in their summer arsenal.

Definitely an impressive collection by DVF, very feminine, graphic and resort worthy!
