How many Diane von Furstenberg dresses do you have in your closet?
We were looking at some Diane von Furstenberg dresses and wondering about the brand’s target demographic. According to what we’ve read, the brand is for women of all ages in all stages of life. To us Diane von Furstenberg dresses look like they’re designed more for women in the 25 – 55 age range. If we had to narrow it even more we’d say working women aged 35 – 49.
We can as easily see a 25 year old in this Diane von Furstenberg multicolored printed silk wrap dress as we can see a 55 year old in it. But the same isn’t necessarily true of this next dress. While we’re sure there are 25 year old women who could and would wear it and look nice in it, at first glance it doesn’t really scream twenty-something style.
Diane von Furstenberg dresses are said to be for women of all ages and all stages of life (if they can afford to shop the brand of course)
If you believe one of the articles we came across, millennials are the target demographic of the Diane von Furstenberg brand. But many of the brand’s dress styles have a more ‘style conscious working mom’ look to them. That’s not to suggest that there aren’t style conscious working mothers who are millenials. If you were born in 1982 you’re a millenial. You’re also 34 as of the writing of this post, assuming you were born on or before December 7th. You could be the mother of a 16 year old if you had a child when you were 18. If you became a mother at a more socially acceptable age, like 25 for example, you are the mother of a 9 year old. So style conscious working moms currently include millenials as well as members of Generation X. It may well also include Baby Boomers, although their children are grown adults (assuming they did not have children in their mid fifties)
What age group of women wear Diane von Furstenberg dresses?
Mostly because of the print, this Starred Clouds Coral Silk Valencia Dress is definitely not a Diane von Furstenberg dress we’d expect to see on the average 25 year old. The wrap dress style has a kind of mature look to it in our opinion. And to some degree you can say Diane von Furstenberg’s brand being so long established has something to do with that. She’s credited with inventing the wrap dress decades ago. So the style, which is still very common to her brand is a dated style even if it’s still a style that’s in vogue.
But we’re inclined to believe the brand is indeed for women of all ages at all stages of life.
We don’t get the impression that Diane von Furstenberg herself would get behind a practice of targeting an age range that excludes the women who grew up with her brand. But then again, you can’t stand on principle if you want to keep your business on the cutting edge. So it makes sense that the brand might identify its target customer base as women who fall into the millenials demographic. They are the most active shopping group, particularly of fashion apparel.
I’d really love to get both the black jacket and the red jacket. The red one is on sale for 
Her first box arrived on Tuesday of this week. Below is her review of her Hello Fresh Trial.
My first box contained ingredients for the following 3 dishes:
We haven’t tried this out yet. We’ll try it out in the coming weeks and share our impressions of the product then.
I figured there had to be some type of glitch with the bottle, but no matter what I did to try to get more product to come out, nothing came out. The bottle was empty.
Unfortunately on Saturday morning my computer died and I lost all but two of the pictures from the shoot. Luckily I had emailed these two to myself so I could download them to my phone in order to change my hair color to blue in my Perfect365 app. I’ve recently cut my hair to a nearly bald length, and I’m thinking about alternating between blue, green, red and purple hair color. But I don’t have the courage to put color in my hair yet so I’m doing it digitally for now.
Hello all. Summer came and is soon to go. I haven’t been updating much, but I’m hoping that will change soon. Here’s a quick “Latest Closet Additions” post to showcase one of the items (a print wrap dress) I have recently added to my closet. As I am still scraping by, my new closet addition isn’t the dreamed after Louboutin heels or the Valentino dress. But maybe that’s a good thing, because I think when I finally get around to making those high end purchases I’m going to feel really stupid for doing it.
The dress is comfortable enough. It fits well. I did have to pin up the part that wraps across the bosom in order to avoid showing any cleavage. And the part that wraps at the hem area does give a little trouble when sitting. It shows a lot more leg than I generally feel comfortable showing.
