The Diane von Furstenberg Marmite Fetish Bag

Diane von Furstenberg debuts a Limited Edition Collection created with New York DJ Harley Viera-Newton on november 1st. Inspired by Viera-Newton’s beloved black cat, Marmite, the collection consists of a Feline Fetish Bag and a Feline Headphone & Play Button perfect for spinning—and gifting. The piece de resistance is the finely beaded fetish bag with its oh-so-distinctive style and sleek feline features defined with hand beaded crystals and pink thread embroidery.       “I am so honored to share this collaboration with DVF!,” says Viera-Newton, who DJ’d the After-Party for the DVF Spring 2013 Runway Show. “Diane is so iconic, so talented, and so much fun - I can't think of a better introduction to the design process.”   Diane von Furstenberg is comments, “I am so excited to work with Harley. She has effortless style and I think we have created something fun for the holidays. And I love the cat because it is so authentic to Harley and I am always telling young designers to be true to themselves!”   The Limited Edition Collection is available on dvf.com.   Pictures © DVF.

Great collection! I love how Veronica Etro stayed true to the house`s signature paisley-prints and colourfulness but fully seperated it from the folklore-look. I could have never imagined those prints working with sporty, almost futuristic cuts - but they do! Bravo, Veronica!
