Diane von Furstenberg figures she has designed around 15,000 prints
since launching her line in 1970—and she’s archived every last one of
them. “They are the core of DVF,” she explains. And now they’ve become
the inspiration for Diane, a new collection of ready-to-wear and
accessories fabricated from some oldies but goodies. Among them: tangled
twigs, tropical ferns, splattered paint, and a chain-link pattern that
was worn by both von Furstenberg in a 1972 ad campaign and Michelle
Obama in a 2009 Christmas card. Clearly, her designs stand the test of
time (dvf.com; from $40 to $365).
