Luna Boston Diane von Furstenberg Event
Sep 23, 2009 / Posted in Diane von Furstenberg Handbags, In The News by Guest Blogger.
Everyone at Luna Boston loves a good party, and a couple weeks ago was no exception. The Diane von Furstenberg event was one of the biggest we’ve ever had – there was a line around the block to get in before the doors even opened! Amanda and Jennifer started setting up for the event at 9am and didn’t stop until 10 minutes before the event started, when they finally had time to get ready!
For those of you that weren’t able to attend, we held the event in a penthouse suite at the FP3 condominiums in the Fort Point section of Boston. I felt like a rockstar at this place – it has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a terrace, and a roof deck! (And it’s on the market for a cool $2.5 mil if you’re interested!) Hillary France, our representative from the Diane von Furstenberg showroom, was there to help us show the Fall collection to attendees. (Did we mention that Hillary looks like a goddess? Tall with long, bright red hair, looks awesome in everything she wears… Basically, she’s perfect. We’re jealous. But I digress.)
Guests were served wine and bubbly provided by our friends at Bin Ends (who worked with us at an event for Boston Fashion Week last fall) and Stuff magazine (one of our Boston faves!), as well as flavored water by O.N.E., and amazing gift bags furnished by DvF and Bin Ends.
Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall collection is all about being a nomad – the tagline is, “Wherever she goes, she belongs,” which is the perfect way to describe this collection. Each bag is a standout piece that would absolutely work well with whatever outfit you’re wearing, from jeans and a tee to an evening ensemble. Studded clutches, exotic skins, and luxe furs make this collection pop, while work-friendly satchels in soft leathers and fall-friendly colors bring it full circle.
Our staff pick is the Veruschcka, (You may have seen Beyonce with a similar style, the Stephanie.) Unlike the Stephanie, the Veruschcka has rabbit fur detailing to really up the ante for Fall. To us, this bag is quintessential Diane von Furstenberg. She’s all about making easy pieces that the everyday woman can wear from the office to dinner and still feel like she’s on the runway.
Check out the full Fall collection at Luna Boston.
I think, looking not only at this article but at this whole page, that the stud thing is OVERDONE! It looks like a huge outbreak of chicken pox has hit every designer and every bag! A stud here and there is edgy. What’s going on here is more like bad acne. Enough already!
If I was surrounded by those glam rock bags in a penthouse suite in Fort Point, sipping free drinks and ogling the local fashionistas, I would have felt like a rockstar too!
It was a blast! DVF is in my top picks for Fall for sure!
Im desperately waiting for the hayworth
Great article. I am going to have to check these bags out the Luna Boston site.
Wow! That green Hayworth jumped right off the page!!! Absolutely gorgeous!
Love your blog entry, Joe!! You gave us a real feel for the DVF bags and style — and made me wish that I had been at the event, too. Thanks so much.
Loquita: You should have come! You are not that far away!
I was at the event which was a lot of fun. And carrying my lovely fuchsia DVF clutch which will be perfect for me to use at my brother’s upcoming wedding! Nice Blog Joe!
