Diane Will Milk The City for Everything It's Worth
Have you noticed how Diane von Furstenberg is mentioned every five seconds on The City? Of course you have: That's where Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo spend their days "working"! But in case you've been ogling DVF's clothes on the show and you've been disappointed to find out that most of the items are no longer available, DVF comes to the rescue with possible alternatives:
While the looks that Whit and Olivia wore have since sold out (the Smarty Jones jacket and Philippine blouse), there are a few items from the La Petite Valise collection that have the same feel. The Akiana jacket in black is the answer for this season's LBB (little black blazer), worn with a skirt (a la Whitney) or over dresses, it can easily sub in for a cardigan. As for Olivia's romantically ruffled blouse, opt for the Bendetta top in canvas, a less high-collared approach to pair with work skirts during the week and jeans come weekend.
Thoughtful, no? Oh, and the staff at DVF would be happy to address any questions you might have about where to buy any clothing featured on the show. Just email inside.dvf@dvf.com and you'll get a response tout de suite!
