It's a Wrap

This week we celebrate the December 31st birthday of Diane von Fürstenberg with a parade of vintage fashion that wraps. Although not the originator of the wrap dress (Elsa Schiaparelli, Charles James and Claire McCardell all embraced wrap styles) von Fürstenberg's 1970s jersey wraps are iconic for their effortless and confident femininity. And this parade isn't just for dresses—look for wrap skirts, tops, jackets and coats as well.

Happy Birthday Diane von Fürstenberg, Happy New Year to all, and for 2022, that's a wrap!
