Diane von Furstenberg @ SS2015 Ad Campaign


Diane von Furstenberg SS2015 Ad Campaign continues to capture the essence of the DVF women, effortless, sexy and on-the-go. Shot by Emma Summerton, the images show a confident and seductive Daria Werbowy as she makes her way through an iconic New York airport terminal.


From the new Riviera wrap Bardot-inspired gingham to a bathing dress in a bold floral, the campaign showcases the glamorous collection drawn from the Mid-Century Cote d'Azur. " The collection is called Riviera, but the campaign is really about this strong and sexy women," says Diane von Furstenberg. "Its all about this easy glamour that comes from being on the go." 


Created with New York based creative agency, Laird + Partners and styled by Edward Enninful, she prepares for her travels in breezy, sun-kissed looks, surrounded by the Voyage Handbag Collection. The collection's versatile staples stand out in bold colorful leather with black and white gingham, the perfect accessory to a well-lived life.

Blumarine Resort 2015 Collection


Blumarine Resort 2015 Collection is where impalpable atmospheres defined with liquid precision. A quest for tactile lightness characterizes.The grace and bon ton spirit which are integral to the DNA of the house are seen from a graphic yet vibrant, always sophisticatedly feminine, angle. An idea of movement pervades the lines and materials as well as the melting color palette.


The silhouette is at once sharp and airy: little dresses caress the body, marking the waist and stopping at the knee, or flow in a long line. Mannish tailoring is interpreted in a delicate way: tuxedo jackets are cut close to the body, trench coats and pants sport fluctuating volumes. Small tops, shorts, flowing jumpsuits seal the quest for pictorial simplicity. The accuracy of the design brings attention to the surfaces: always textural, irregular, alive, they are characterized by monochrome tartans and flowers drawn by way of intarsia or fil coupé, or printed watercolor blotches. Touch and sight are seduced at once. Flowers alternate with transparent lines, liquid draping with sculptural movements, matte with shiny in an idea of balance in contrasts that enhances the female figure.


Fabrics are fluid yet consistent: silk mikado, cady, silk tulle, fil coupé. The watery color palette includes shades of light grey, white, yellow accented with touches of red and pink. Accessories in mirror-effect fabric - sharp pumps, belts, clutches and small duffels - add a strong design element. The alternation of hard and soft is solved with the assertive delicacy which is the Blumarine signature.
