With her West Village townhouse packed to capacity, and with the likes of Susan Sarandon, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Tracey Ullman in the front row, Von Furstenberg unleashed a parade of "rebel princesses." Plasticized miniskirts, cha-cha skirts, and chiffon boudoir chemises worn over cigarette pinstripe pants are now staples of the Von Furstenberg wardrobe. A "boss woman" striped dress was worn with a black ruffle bikini; for evening, a formal tuxedo consisted of a cropped, navel-baring jacket and pajamalike pull-up trousers.
Of course, there were also more traditional selections
to choose from. A "floating O's" print showed up on
lightweight dancer skirts and dresses; practical
safari jackets, shrunken blazers and suede trousers
will work perfectly as a no-nonsense, everyday
uniform.
