why it's a big deal

this episode was kind of a big deal. Diane Von Furstenberg isn't just a big name, yes she is super successful, yeah she owns one of the biggest and most successful design studios commercially and in high fashion, yes she makes pretty pieces, and works different patterns and colors in ways no one else can and yes she is successful in the hundreds of other things she pursues home interiors, perfumes, cosmetics etc etc etc . But she is one of those living legends of fashion past. People have been and will be referencing her as a design great. She is from Brussels, married a prince and moved to NYC. In the seventies she came out with the knit wrap dress . Women of the past, present and future consider this a closet staple. They flatter all sizes and shapes, they can be dressed up, dressed down, and never go out of style. they are simple and flattering. Kind of a big deal. now the designers get to work for a legend which is awesome and get to pick their fabric out of her own supply, the colors, the quality, the patterns, i could live there these fabrics could cost more than a car hand spun, dyed from all over the world and only the best. and they were in such a rush to get the fabric they were being thrown on the floor, being pulled, thrown around, i was in a tizzy at them just chucking and trampling all of those fabrics. any way this was a big deal in about a hundred different ways.
