KALEIDOSCOPE - Diane von Furstenberg Cruise Collection 2013/14


KALEIDOSCOPE

La Petite Valise

Cruise Collection 2013/14




Every day is a turning point offering a new perspective."

An empowering black and white stripe curves and contours around the body, like a winding road across an open landscape. Ever curious and on-the-go, she follows it through a nautical dream of cobalt blue and kelly green, gliding effortlessly from day to night with an evolving cast of accessories: the sexy Sutra Hobo in parchment; a sheer, electric lime, Highline Micro Mini bag with faceted studs; a bejeweled Joia Zip Minaudière in raspberry and tangerine. Graphic dresses command attention with sharp lines that accentuate the body, revealing an inherent strength. Soft blouses flow over printed pants, in a contradiction as compelling as the ever-changing view. 






The light gives way to darkness to reveal a silver lining. In celebration, she shimmers in a sexy gold tinged lace dress. Ready for a holiday adventure, she sparkles with spontaneity in embellished ivory silk over flowing navy chiffon; she surprises in structured tuxedo pieces softened for evening in sharp jackets, jumpsuits and a sultry track short; a perfect little black dress cut to there. Ruffles on leather, metallic studs on a soft cardigan, a hint of lace—all come together in subtly sexy pieces that drape across her body, at once feminine and powerful.
 
The stripe grows narrow, closer to the body, as she continues on her journey, effortless in a classic wrap dress in black and white with platform sandals in bold colours and graphic prints. Crisp canvas and quilted leather contrast on sharp jackets thrown over sleek dresses on her way out the door, la petite valise in hand. Pops of pink and chartreuse come into view. 



Ready for anything, coats are clad with unexpected details. A classic trench gets a feminine spin with a subtle ruffle or a luxe edge with leather piping, while a day coat has a leather sleeve and modern moto feel. 

The morning comes in a blaze of optic white, the mirror image of a perfect black. She opens her eyes to a field of orchids, refreshed in floral dresses and pencil skirts juxtaposed with a sheer python printed blouse.

Always turning, she sees the world from every angle. Always changing, her clothes are her constant companions.
