A taste of indie spirit
Jonathan Saunders, creative director of high-end fashion house Diane von Furstenberg brings harmony to his second collection, introducing a subtle dichotomy that runs throughout the outfits.
Satinbacked linen is sophisticated and naturally raw while contrasting front and back panels on tops and dresses add an element of surprise. DVF’s woman is at once provocative yet playful, intentional yet impulsive.
Textures add depth to expressive surface prints and screenprinted paillettes, handbeading and jacquards bring a new dimension to the clothes. Separates become increasingly prominent with flared and stovepipe pants, woven polo shirts and pencil skirts that skim the knee suggesting a true indie spirit.
Lightness and transparency prevail. Delicate webbed lace dresses in dusky pastels and gauzy, airy knitwear in vibrant hues are resoundingly feminine. Easy layering implies a sense of eccentricity, freedom and confidence. Crisp, floralprinted cotton poplin and gingham signal an optimistic summer.
The collection is now available at the Diane von Furstenberg shops at Central Chidlom, Paragon Department Store and the EmQuartier.
