I always think of fashion designers as being creative, outlandish, totally commited to their art, but a little scatter-brained at times. I’m sure Project Runway is most likely to blame for that skewed impression, but it’s just what I always picture.
Well, when I came across this hilarious photo of one of my favorite clothing and handbag designers Diane von Furstenberg, I couldn’t help but laugh and think that it confirmed all of my assumptions. Deep in discussion on her cell phone while hanging upside down with her legs in butterfly position, Diane is the epitome of a creative soul.
Forget Whitney and Olivia’s mind-numbing chatter at DVF’s New York headquarters on MTV’s The City. I want to see more of Diane von Furstenberg herself with her quirky personality and odd multi-tasking. Now that would be an interesting reality show!
The picture was first posted on the company’s blog, Inside DVF. They can add me as a new reader since I, for one, am looking forward to more entertaining posts like this.
