Moscow, here we come! As reported in WWD yesterday, DVF is heading to Moscow for Diane von Furstenberg: Journey of a Dress, a retrospective on the fashions and life of Diane. Curated by Andre Leon Talley, the exhibition will debut on October 30th, at the Manezh Central Exhibition hall in Moscow and will run through November 22nd, 2009.

It will feature paintings and photographs from Diane’s personal archive, including works by Andy Warhol, Francesco Clemente, Anh Duong, Helmut Newton, Mario Testino, and Francesco Scavullo. There will also be original family photos and letters, and did we mention the fashions? Over 40 looks from throughout her career will be on display, from the wrap dresses of 1973 to present day collections.

Stay tuned for inside photos of us setting up the exhibit and the big opening night soiree in Moscow. Not to mention for news about where Journey of a Dress will be journeying next…
