Female Empowerment at NYFW
The walls of the Venue for Diane Von Furstenberg's Fall 2016 presentation in Chelsea headquarters read, "If you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt"
Diane von Furstenberg first entered the fashion world in 1970 with a suitcase full of jersey dresses. Four years later, she created the wrap dress, which came to symbolize power and independence for an entire generation of women. She never doubted her powers. DVF is perfect example of women empowerment!
This season Karlie Kloss presented gold sequins full-length version of the wrap dress. The disco scenario reminded of "Studio 54" times Diane was so fond of back then. Models, friends and even designer herself danced to “We Are Family”. The room was full of attitude, gratitude and beautiful and confident women.
