One look at Talita Von Furstenberg’s Instagram will signal that she’s a summer girl. Most photos include a nonchalant Talita in a printed maxi dress off some European coast, so it wasn’t surprising when beachwear was the inspiration for the spring 2023 collection. “In April, people are dying for summer, so they want to wear beachwear like easy maxi dresses. The collection could be worn at the beach with bathing suits and also dressed up for when you’re back in the city with accessories like sandals,” she said.
Diane’s signature prints still lie at the heart of the collection, with floral designs pulled from the archive, but young Gen Z customers can lean into geometric tiles and animal prints that come in bright blues, yellows, and oranges that will get them excited for the coming warm weather. And to ensure that these clothes can survive the New York City humidity, everything will come in breathable and airy fabrics like cotton and jersey. Even if you have no plans for a European getaway anytime soon, you might be a step closer with these clothes.
