Diane von Furstenberg opens her design archives

London: Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg has opened her design archives.

The 66-year-old designer is working with fashion consultant Natalie Joss to produce a film and photoshoot featuring her own pieces and has enlisted models and muses Tali Lennox, Lila Love and Elizabeth Gilpin to star in the film, `Playing in Diane`s Closet`, reported Contactmusic. "I loved it! I think that the models have great style. I thought they looked very fresh," Diane said. The shoot took place at the designer`s home in Connecticut and features new pieces from her autumn/winter 2013-14 High Line collection. Diane, who is soon to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her iconic wrap dress, said the V-necked creation was designed to flatter all figures. "It was something that had not been done, just a simple little dress. But I think the thing that made it special and that has made it timeless, is that it was all about the woman. It really flattered a woman`s body and it gave her independence and power - and that is still so relevant today," she said. PTI
