It’s always a good day in my house when I brag home a Diane von Furstenberg item from the thriftstore. All hell could break loose and that still wouldn’t upset me if Ihad just collected a recycled luxury item such as DVF. Diane von Furstenbergis one of the premier names in American fashion, it was founded in 1972by the designer. Renowned for its iconic wrap dress and signatureprints, DVF has grown into the global luxury lifestyle brand it istoday. The photo of her in the red dress standing next to herself-portrait by Andy Warhol is just splendid. Can you just imaginehaving your portrait done by Warhol? I remember as a little boy lookingat the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog and that year the ‘big gift’ wasyou getting the chance to fly to NYC to his studio for aself-portrait. I remember as a child wanting that gift ! I digresshere, I’m quite sure DVF absolutely loves and treasures her portrait, Ijust wish it were my portrait. That’s all I got to say. I alsogathered these ultra rich chocolate cotton Patrizia Pepeslacks with the snap button front pockets and the keyhole tab for theback belt loop. Brilliant just brilliant. Patrizia Pepe is an Italianfashion brand that was founded in 1993 by Patrizia Bambi and ClaudioOrrea. I think this abstract DVF cotton blouse with these Patrizia Pepebrown slacks are marvelous together and if Andy Warhol saw the womanwearing this ensemble walking down the streets of NYC I’m sure he wouldhave grabbed his Polaroid ! If there is any item anywhere on my blogthat peeks your interest please email me for price, additional photosand measurements.
