On Valentine’s day, Diane von Furstenberg presented her fall/winter 2010 collection in Bryant Park. The show was totally packed, and I was lucky to even get in to the photo pit. Entrance was highly regulated by staffers at the tents, with only “A Group” photographers from places like Getty Images and Women’s Wear Daily getting in at first. But I (just barely) made it, and found myself a spot to the extreme right of the runway. At an odd angle for a show with a double runway, but I made it work.
A lot of the resulting photos weren’t as perfect as I would have liked, but the show was beautiful, with gorgeous clothing as usual, and some of the top models in the industry walked in it.
Coco Rocha.

Rachel Zoe was there, as seen peeking out behind the models:
When I first arrived, I nearly walked right in to Patricia Field. Here she is admiring the collection:
Love her witchy hat!
Molly Sims was also there:
Love her sweater, but I’m so over her. She’s everywhere, and why? The woman will show up to the opening of an envelope.
In my eyes, Diane can really do no wrong when it comes to making women’s clothes. She’s been doing this forever, and is one designer I truly feel always understands what a woman wants. Season after season I find myself lusting over at least half a dozen of her dresses. Trends may come and go, and Diane not only keeps up, but starts many trends of her own.

At the end, Diane and her creative director took a lap around the runway:
