Diane von Furstenberg's modern 1960s twist
It was not a case of life imitating “Mad Men,” but upon closer inspection there were subtle and frequent nods to the 1960s on the runway and in presentations this week. Erin Fetherston’s collection for her ERIN line was perhaps the most direct homage to the era. Her ultra-mini shift dresses were worn by models who were easily doppelgangers for Mia Farrow circa “Rosemary’s Baby.” Alice and Olivia’s collection was highlighted by early 1960’s cocktail dresses, and there were modern interpretations of the 1960s found in the silhouettes of Derek Lam’s leather dresses, and the Marimekko-style prints of Diane von Furstenberg’s show. And just in case you missed the message, von Furstenberg topped all of her models with a fluffy cotton candy bouffant.
