The Classic Wrap Dress & Kicks Part II

 

Yesterday we talked about my love of sportswear and the Nike Air Max Thea.  Personally, sneakers have become an essential part of my wardrobe right up there with a pea-coat, well cut jeans, etc. A recent staple that I now consider an essential? A classic wrap dress. It will never go out of style, is appropriate for any event, and is universally flattering. Diane Von Furstenberg is known for pioneering the wrap dress and she is still on top of her game to this day. The cut of the dress hugs every curve just the right way without showing too much. Throw on a nude wedge and you are ready for an event, dinner date, brunch…I could go on and on. Due to the fact that the wrap dress ties at the waist, it creates a slim middle and draws the eye in, which is what we all aim for. I picked mine up at DVF, but you can now find them almost anywhere.

Looking for your “in” to the wonderful world of fashion? This could be your chance to make leaps and bounds to the top. Diane Von Furtenberg is currently in the process of casting for a new reality show set to find her ultimate brand ambassador. Sounds interesting.

Fashionista.com seemed to have the ultimate scoop, saying: “Details are scarce at this point, but the casting producer told us the show, which is currently being referred to as the “DVF DocuSeries,” will air on a “major cable network.” It’s being produced by Electus, the same company that does Fashion Star and Mob Wives. They plan to shoot for 6 to 8 weeks in the spring of next year. Contestants on the show will be “trained as brand ambassadors” and compensated. Applicants must be interested in fashion, but there are no requirements in terms of education or work experience.”

With little else to go off of, this could be awesome. Diane is a fashion power house, and this is just another way she is one step closer to ruling the world.
