Helen Mirren in Diane von Fustenberg

DVF800S

In 2010, the actress Helen Mirren has received a fourth Oscar nomination for The Last Station, a biographical film about Leo Tolstoy, one of the more prominent figures in the Russian literature, in which Mirren plays his wife Sofia Tolstaya.
With great stage presence, the Mirren is always elegant in its dealings and in their style choices. We see here pictured with the model DVF800S Diane von Fustenberg at the launch of the first collection alone. A frame that reflects the elegance and grace made that distinguish the style of the actress. The gentle curves of the metal bridge are a call to the legendary wrap dress, highlighting the delicate forms of the feminine silhouette.

Diane von Furstenberg Sunglasses and Eyewear: DVF Gives Us a Peek at Her New Line

DVF 2010


Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg unveiled her new signature eyewear at The Vision Expo in New York City, where the latest trends in sunglasses and optical wear were shown to the trade.
Although the iconic designer has attached her name to glasses before, it has been years since she’s had signature lenses on the market. Trademark DVF details — iconic lips, power stones, love knots, and even the prints of her famed wrap dresses — are beautifully translated in a variety of materials into more than 20 different styles of sunglasses and more than a dozen looks created for prescription optics.
Wearing one of her print dresses, von Furstenburg popped on a smart pair of gold-toned aviators from her new collection — noteworthy for the orange accent at the brow — and urged us not to be so afraid of making a spectacle of ourselves when sporting four stylish eyes.
Publicist: There are some vivid frames in this collection: teals, oranges, yellow. You’ve even got prints inside the arms of your frames. These are not timid glasses.
Diane von Furstenberg: Glasses are a wonderful accessory. They should make a statement. I think they can make your whole look brighter, more interesting.
Publ: Which glasses will we see on you?
DVF: I’m always a big fan of wrap glasses! [Picks up a tortoise-shell pair accented by love knots and pops them on.] But I also think these aviators are great. In the city, on a day like today, I would wear them, of course, but I wear them all year round in the city. Strangely, the only time I don’t wear my glasses is when I’m hiking. I suppose I should, but I take them off because I like to really take in what’s around me.
Publ: So many women are afraid glasses will detract from their beauty and wear contacts instead.
DVF: I think of them as something that can enhance your beauty. To me, they are like makeup — they are an accent. They can bring color and light to your face and make you more beautiful. Try some on [she motions to her eye area]. They will add something to your look, not detract from it. Don’t be afraid of a strong look.
