See now, buy when? Catwalk-to-shop retail model divides brands
By Elizabeth Barber NEW YORK (Reuters) – With the future of fashion shows in limbo, top name designers used New York Fashion Week to erase any doubts about their own brands, making definitive statements about the clothes and lifestyle that critics and shoppers alike can expect from them. Diane von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Nicole Miller and other designers strove to make their mark during the week-long event that ends on Thursday, targeting both buyers and editors sitting runway-side and the consumers who increasingly dictate want they want and when they want it. Von Furstenberg told Reuters her Fall 2016 collection, shown at her downtown Manhattan headquarters, was key to “reminding everyone what this brand is about.” Karlie Kloss, joined by fellow models Kendall Jenner and Jourdan Dunn, described “the DvF woman” as someone who knows who she is and who she wants to be.

Designer Diane von Furstenberg swapped the catwalk for the dance floor to present her fall collection at New York Fashion Week and sought to bridge the gap between runway and retail by offering several creations for sale straight after the show. The designer, known for her signature wrap dress, turned her New York City headquarters into a party presentation with big name models Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn dancing in her latest creations. The collection featured vest tops over blouses and short skirts, colorful silk and satin dresses and jumpsuits, printed long bohemian dresses as well as a gold-sequined wrap gown.
