& one more thing about DURO

.
  

How often do I say- all things evolve from the greatest design oracle of all.One of the things that struck me about DURO OLOWU's creations was- what else? DIANA VREELAND.

Yes, I could see her raving over his things-Wearing them.
Take a look and tell me what You think?
Doesn't Mrs. Vreeland capture the style and spirit of DURO?





























so, can we talk?

    Brilliant!! You are of course totally spot on. And she is most definitely the greatest design oracle ever!! Ever shot of her is timeless and would be the epitome of ultimate chic today as well as then.

    DV really knew how to mix prints and colours, so you're bang on here. Such an interesting combo to be a minimalist in terms of cut and maximalist (not a bad made-up word) in print. Love Duro, love DV. This is the sort of post that just makes my day.

    Excellent observation, and great images for comparison. I may not be Ms. Vreeland, but I could see myself wearing most of them.

    Cheers,

    Claudia
