The designer, known for her signature wrap dress, turned her
New York City headquarters into a party presentation with big
name models Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan
Dunn dancing in her latest creations.
The collection featured vest tops over blouses and short skirts,
colorful silk and satin dresses and jumpsuits, printed long
bohemian dresses as well as a gold-sequined wrap gown.
"This collection is called 'Love Power' and it's very much
inspired by the fluidity and grace of dancing but the precision
of fencing," von Furstenberg told Reuters.
With clients around the world, several fashion houses are
looking to sell their clothing and accessories more quickly to
customers who, they say, now want to order items via their
mobile phones and not wait months for them in-store.
Earlier this month, Burberry said it would hold February and
September shows, featuring menswear and womenswear, and that the
clothes will be available to purchase straight after.
"There will be three pieces that are available that people can
buy right away," von Furstenberg, who also heads the Council of
Fashion Designers of America, said of her line.
"... I think in the future, the presentation to the trade may be
a little more intimate and I think the big show may be more
consumer relevant because otherwise with social media and
everything else it's very confusing for the consumer."
Also unveiling her new line on Sunday was Victoria Beckham, who
presented fall looks inspired by corsets. Dresses had
bodice-like tops, some slashed on the sides and paired with
voluminous skirts.
Models also wore plaid dresses, dark colored knits and checkered
coats in black, white, maroon orange and mustard yellow.
New York Fashion Week: The Shows runs until Feb. 18.
