I just finished watching the highlights from Diane von Furstenburg's Fashion Week show. Blah. The whole line desperately harkens back to the Summer of Love, and I can't imagine anyone except retired former hippies wearing it. In the interview she demonstrates how fully she has failed to grasp the zeitgeist of the post-credit-crunch world when she talks about her whole line being about "freedom, the freedom to mix a big bag with an evening gown." Society is in a state of hangover after a huge bender. Carrying ostentatious DVF shoulder bags with this nonsense is like curing your hangover with a wake-and-bake. It might feel good, but don't plan to be taken seriously... by anyone. The worst part is that I envision this line being worn mostly by people who liked this crap when it was first popular (i.e. people as old as Diane von Furstenburg herself). I just hope they don't try to bring back "free love" with it.
