A Fashion Icon Comes to OC

April 04, 2012

One of our favorite fashion icons of all time, Diane Von Furstenberg just opened her first namesake Orange County boutique at South Coast Plaza. The DVF store carries a full line of ready to wear, shoes and fabulous accessories.

Unlike many designers, Diane Von Furstenberg only offers ready to wear, making it a much more accessible label to all, there aren’t any high-end couture pieces. Her signature wrap dress and printed flirty silhouettes are available in spring pastels, bursts of color, white, navy, black and even aubergine. Her designs will make any woman feel and look incredible, plus there’s a full range of complimentary accessories and shoes too.

Open 10 a.m. to  9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Level 1, in the Saks Fifth Avenue wing at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa.  714.312.5480.
