One of our favorite events, Lucky Shops, just got even more favorite. This year, the annual shopping party has chosen Dress for Success as its charity partner and DVF is proud to be a part of the Shop for Success boutique, where all the proceeds will benefit Dress for Success. In addition to DVF look for one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. The event kicks of with a VIP night on Thursday (where 50% of the ticket proceeds will also go towards Dress for Success), and continues through the weekend with all-day shopping on Friday and Saturday.

Hail DVF!

All hail Diane… literally! In case you were in the neighborhood yesterday, we were outside the NY shop filming for an eyewear project we were working on and one part involved Diane in a DVF taxi cab! She is a driving force in fashion after all! Stay tuned for more behind the scenes photos and also the launch of our new Eyewear, which will be arriving in stores and online in November.

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…

DVF participated in the 8th annual Susan G. Komen Fashion for the Cure event last Thursday… and it was a great success!

Instead of a typical Hollywood red carpet, guests walked across a pink carpet honoring breast cancer, and kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness month starting in October. Eliza Dushku hosted the event, and spoke about her godmother whom she lost to a breast cancer fight just within the last year; after she spoke about her experiences with the disease Eliza, proudly introduced the DVF 2009/2010 Resort collection. The lights dimmed, the music turned up and the beautiful pieces of resort graced the runway on models and notables such as Denise Richards, Mya, and Caroline D’Amore. But nothing was more special than the moment the survivor models took their moment in the spotlight and showed their strength of survival as they presented a piece from the DVF collection. The guests stood on their feet cheered the models down the runway as they had an opportunity to shine. The survivor models consisted of a courageous group of women who have beaten cancer and are now making a difference in their own communities.

We are so happy to be a part of an event and organization that is making a difference in women’s lives in the community, and around the nation to fight breast cancer.
