A dress for all cities – Diane von Furstenberg: Journey of a Dress

What made it even easier was von Furstenberg's fabric-savvy.Not to fend of an invading race of monsters from a different dimension buy RBG boost — but as future helpers in dangerous disaster scenarios like the one at the Fukushima nuclear plant in 2011. It was as if she had sponged up every last bit of Euro-American culture and the contemporary urban environment – fine art, graphics, media, the rhythm of the city and the way we lived and worked. The fabrics – with their bold graphics, animal,I had been offered a full scholarship at the age of 27. It had taken years of hard work and an uneasy Metallic Zentai Suits life in Delhi's heat to reach a stage where I could secure a place at a university ranked among top 50 in the QS World University Rankings. or biomorphic, or stylized abstract prints – and the way the dress moved, responded to the way people moved and worked in the city. They had impact without overwhelming the wearer or the on-looker. Von Furstenberg understood the dynamic down to the city's DNA. 

Of course she moved on – with dresses, sportswear, separates, accessories; and so did we; but versatility has been the hallmark of her label throughout its double run.I think, for example, of a style of tunic dressing she put her own tailored stamp on, among many other styles.She has a flair for what she would call the "yin and yang" of fashion – that uncanny balance between casual and dressy, the business-like yet relaxed, the geometric and the biomorphic, the matte and the shiny. She knows how to walk a dress the way some people walk in nothing at all – it's just second nature. You see it in her runway shows of the last decade – the consistent enthusiasm, the sense of something there for everyone, and the buyers getting excited. Everyone goes home or to the next show happy. 

The show, Diane von Furstenberg: Journey of a Dress, opens today at LACMA-West appropriately, the former May Co. department store space, installed as if in inter-locking mirrored lozenges not unlike some of the patterns themselves, endlessly reflecting a thousand incarnations of the dress that thousands of women wore to their first jobs or first nights out. Except they're not reflections – they're the actual dresses. It looks as if the curators of the show pulled the dress in every fabric and pattern it was made. The pedestals and surrounding walls and floors are similarly wrapped in the animal/biomorphic and geometric/abstract patterns that have always been her signature. Whether for a walk back into the past,Seven teams of robotics researchers across the country have been assigned one Atlas each. High-end reinforced hoses are more resistant to abrasions, elo boost and bursts. or to scout out future style horizons, I encourage you to 'walk' the wrap dress for yourself sometime between this week-end and April 1st.
