Sage wisdom from DVFDiane Von Furstenberg inspired us all with her commercials about "knowing what kind of woman" she wanted to become. Turns out she knows a lot about relationships, too! Last night on The City, sweet little Whitney Port was upset that her boyfriend Jared had decided to dump her while he was on tour with his band. DVF brought out the big guns.

Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) president Diane Von Furstenberg charmed the crowd at Rockefeller Center Monday night for the announcement of nominees and honorees for its 2009 awards. One of the most popular and effective presidents in the CFDA's distinguished history, she did not hesitate to address the elephant in the room, a certain gaudy party-crasher known as "the recession."

Olivia Palermo in DVF - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look



Since we have been introduced to Olivia Palermo via MTV's "The City," we have come to realize just who Candace Bushnell's books are about and that the people she discusses in favorite reads like "Sex and the City" and "Four Blondes" are absolutely real. Olivia is the epitome of stylish, sophisticated, bitchy, backstabbing New York socialite glamor. And she makes no apologies for it.

Cost of a Classic - The Wrap Dress

Filed under: Dresses

DVF wrap dressThere aren't many things out there that are more universally flattering than a wrap dress. Stilettos, sideswept bangs, and dark colors come to mind, but really, the wrap dress is where it's at. And what makes it even better is that, even though it's a staple every woman should have in her closet, and it'll last you for years, it doesn't have to cost a bundle. Although it definitely can.

Charity Couture: Red Dress Collection Auctions Off One-of-a-Kind Designs

Filed under: Style for a Cause, Fashion Week



Every year during New York Fashion Week, tastemakers count on the Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection to send a showstopping stream of one-of-a-kind gowns down the runway.

The event brings together the likes of Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen, who create original gowns to benefit The Heart Truth. (The organization that raises awareness about women's heart disease.)

This year, the show is getting an exciting new spin. Now, in partnership with Clothes Off Our Back, some of those previously unattainable dresses will be auctioned off to the public after the show. The proceeds will benefit children's charities.

Look for a sequined Diane von Furstenberg stunner Kelly Ripa wore to last year's event, along with gowns from Carmen Volvo and Donna Karan, among others. The auction starts online on February 6, but if online shopping isn't your thing, you can also witness the real things on display at the Rockefeller Center from Valentine's Day until February 21.

We are completely convinced, anything Diane von Furstenberg touches turns to gold, including Debra Messing. The twosome is a combination that is literally, blowing our minds right now.

Get the look: DVF - We died.

Filed under: Fashion Week, Get the Look



In true Diane von Fursteberg fashion, the show was a mix of everything a fashionable, jet set gal needs – flared denim, flirty dresses, floaty tunics, and sweet accessories. And of course, DVF's signature prints were present in all of the looks; this year taking on the forms of butterflies, stars, tribal and art deco. Though the designer says that the DVF girl is a "rock goddess" this year, Style.com might've said it better when they said she is a "breezy, flower child."

The mostly dress collection was completely phenomenal but the most notable feature on the runway was the models headpieces. Feathers, fringe, and beading adorned long loose hair while Twiggy-esque makeup added to the easy 60's feel of the collection.

To keep the looks modern, the Diane added in some trends du jour – plenty of sparkle, shimmer, transparency, and belts.

We're totally feeling everything about this collection and apparently so are celebs like Eva Longoria and Leighton Meester! The DVF show was one of the most star studded of the week.
