diane von furstenberg showed that’s she’s about much more than the wrap dress. her collection featured short 60s style shifts, pop art trapeze tops, off the shoulder tunics, print minis, and even some denim. and instead of going with the spring-y pastels that other designers have been sticking to so far, she went pucci-bright, with yellow, fushia, black, and red mixed in with pop art prints, oversized houndstooth, and bold geometric patterns.
