Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2011

Diane von Furstenberg has become one of the world's most recognizable designers since introducing the iconic wrap dress in the '70s. Each season, DVF delivers collections that celebrate bold femininity via print, color, and ultra-wearable silhouettes that are always flattering.There's a sense of playfulness, with a sophisticated finish that evolves with the ebb and flow of trends and seasons. With her Spring 2012 collection debuting on Sunday, we're taking a look at von Furstenberg's collections over the past decade.

Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2012

With gold embellishments and garden party-inspired prints, Cynthia Rowley's set the tone for a beautifully femme, and still entirely modern Spring 2012. Models hit the mirrored, metallic runway in a contrast of botanical prints on slim-fit pants and waist-cinching jackets and blazers, while LBDs and knits got a dose of the same gold accents that Rowley echoed again and again on shoes, soccer-inspired patchwork bags, and even gilded shorts. Rowley delivered a collection that manages to be equal parts sophisticate and cool-girl — statement pieces in all-over florals that get a chicer edge thanks to sharp tailoring and a perfect palette.

Trends: Contrast stitching, head-to-toe print, botanicals and florals, laser-cut detailing.
Colors: White, black, red, gold, florals.
Key Piece: White botanical print blazer and slim-fit black floral print pants.
Accessories: Gold and white heels, mirrored shades, quilted soccer handbags.
Who Would Wear It: Polished, feminine girls who still like to take risks; Olivia Palermo and Leighton Meester.
