(The Legend.

Synopsis of the show: So the premise of the show is for the legendary Diane Von Furstenberg to find a brand ambassador for her eponymous fashion line. Sounds simple in theory but in practise it proves to be chaotic…
What To Anticipate: Expect to hear DVF repeatedly doubt her decision to do the show, exclaiming in the first episode: "I was getting dressed, and I was thinking 'Am I crazy?'" - Oh the drama!
Why It's Worth A Watch: Not since the Whitney Port spinoff show from 'The Hills' has access been granted to the inner workings of the DVF headquarters. If like me, you've had a hole in your life since the end of 'The City' then this is the show to fill that void and some.
Meet DVF's team of fashion aficionados: Jessica Joffe -former It girl and current DVF style editor - is all icy stare and no nonsense (I <3 her), while Stefani Greenfield, who is SVP of merchandising, is like a terrifying headmistress bent on wrangling the girls into some semblance of DVF-ishness! DVF herself is fiercely passionate about both her brand and the girls, nurturing them with the compassion of a mother - a world away from the stereotypical frosty image of the fashion industry.

The Downside: It's hard to even imagine that there could be anything even resembling a downside where DVF is concerned but I do question their choice of girls. Out of all the girls in the world (or maybe it's just America) I can't help feeling that the chosen girls were selected mainly for their entertainment value on the show rather than their fashion prowess or particularly moral characters. For example one of the first to go was a girl who intermittently spoke French as a means of alienating the other girls, valued her wardrobe at an astronomical amount (in a bid to show-off?), skyped her boyfriend in the DVF showroom and had an episode that left everyone wondering if she was in fact on drugs! Sound like DVF material to you? Yep, didn't think so. There's a bitch in the group (as labelled by Diane I might add), one thick accented Jersey girl, a couple who talk waaaay too fast and one with an amazing red afro atop her head. Not your typical DVF girl but the company's bid to connect with a new generation is evident and I think it's working.

The Conclusion: If you're still unsure whether or not to sacrifice sixty minutes of your Tuesday evening, then perhaps the prospect of being enriched by DVF's inspiring, thought-provoking and philosophical musings on life will entice you.
Here's Last Week's Inspirational Quote:
"The success of every single woman is an inspiration for another" DVF
Oh and you can't forget the clothes. One day a DVF wrap dress will be in my possession. Until then, a Polyvore collage of make believe items will have to suffice. Here's my take on transitional styling, from down town kicks to uptown chic - such is the versatility of the wrap dress.
One day it'll be mine. One day.
