NEW YORK (AP) – Talk about a girl squad.
Karlie Kloss opened it, Gigi Hadid closed it, and sprinkled in between Diane von Furstenberg’s New York Fashion Week show Sunday was a who’s who of the latest crop of supermodels, including Kendall Jenner, Gigi’s sister Bella Hadid, Irina Shyak, Lily Aldridge and Jourdan Dunn.
“I love women at the beginning of their life,” von Furstenberg said when asked why she chose these particular models. “This collection is about celebration of woman, beauty, freedom and nature.”
The show certainly felt like a celebration as celeb attendees including Kate Upton, Victoria Justice and Tori Kelly, danced along to music by Drake and The Weeknd, whose hit, “Can’t Feel My Face,” closed out the show (the pop singer, who is dating Bella Hadid, was also in attendance).
The collection had a 1970s nostalgic feel thanks to metallic golds, mixed prints, jumpsuits and high-waisted suits. You could almost picture von Furstenberg dancing at Studio 54 like the days of old in all of these looks – they’ve just been updated for the modern woman with shades of pink, black embellished with gold detailing and white with pops of color.
