In the Retro

Loving the overflowing retro influences in fashion this season. Diane Von Furstenberg's Fall-Winter 2011 "Urban Geometry " presents a fusion of ‘30s chic and ‘70s glamour in a variety of modern pieces envisioning the modern urban lifestyle.  The style mode is all about casual elegance in easy fabrication.  Chic need not to be too serious as seen in DVF's geometric, abstract shapes and artistic floral prints in languid silhouettes.  Loving the collection's color play from browns to rust, mustard to deep burgundy, and aqua blues to bright jade that recreate the retro vibe in mod silhouettes for a more up to date feel.  Fashion is a cycle and trends perennially keeps on coming back in modern forms.  Loving this style change that evolves to create something new and better.  When this happens, chicness becomes almost a statement in every successful return of retro. 

Diane Von Furstenberg is available at Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza.
