I learned a very important lesson from a woman in her ’60s last Spring. I was on my way to NYC to film with Diane von Furstenberg and was seated next to this woman at a dinner the night before and when I told her of my trip her face lit up and she said “my first designer dress was DVF, I’d just given birth and I drove into the city from Connecticut and bought a wrap dress at a small boutique on 5th Ave. It was the most forgiving and fabulous dress a new mother could hope for.” Then her face fell and she said, “the biggest mistake I ever made was giving that dress away. Don’t ever give up your DVF!”
And you know what? I won’t. I cleaned out my closet this month and gave away everything I haven’t worn in a year, except my DVF pieces. First of all, I still wear my DVF, they’re staples in my closet that I pull out time and again, layer with tights or sweaters depending on season and feel good in all the time. Not only do I keep my DVF, I add to it each season. The Petite Valise Collection for Resort 2009 is a combination of signature prints, easy layering, travel friendly fabrics and feminine silhouettes.
