Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t care who makes them, I’m never, ever wearing gauchos again. The voluminous short pants had a resurgence back when I was in college, and I’ve seen enough pictures of myself and others from that year that I know better than to be fooled (again) into thinking that gauchos are a good idea. Not even the fancy gauchos from Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2011 can make me reconsider that decision. It’s final.
Luckily, DvF provided plenty of other drool-worthy options in her Wild West-tinged show. As always, color and pattern abounded, but some of the most interesting looks were the most monochromatic. Head-to-toe cerulean or seafoam in textures ranging from silk to wool to fur might be a difficult prospect for the average woman, but then again, when has Diane von Furstenberg ever dressed average women?

I love these looks!
Love love the color combinations here, so bold and exciting to look at. The rightmost outfit in the head photo is stunning with all those peek-a-boo holes!

Gucci, Hermes Spring/Summer 2011? Ehh…
I’m on the fence. I want to like them, but I think that there are more that I dislike. But, I have never been one to say that I want to wear DVF.
I could see myself in something like #1, the gauchos look cool on the model but I don’t think I’d go for them.
Hmmm…. Usually, I am a huge DvF fan, but this is not her strongest collection. Some of these outfits are great, e.g. like #1,2,7,and 17, but others are… just not my cup of tea, I guess.
