Diane von Furstenberg designs childrenswear for Gap New York Fashion Week designer Diane von Furstenberg has created a colourful and affordable range for young girls with American chain Gap. Multi-tasking fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, who found fame and success in the Seventies with her iconic wrap dresses, is launching a range of children and babywear for Gap. Following in the footsteps of fellow designer and Gap Kids collaborator Stella McCartney, the 65 year-old has used her experiences as a mother and grandmother to create a collection with the American retailer suited to newborn baby girls, right up to 14-year-old teens. Bold colours and patterns emblazoned upon practical jersey dresses, leggings and tops form the foundation of the collection, with vintage DvF hibiscus prints and leaf motifs recalling her design signatures. The aforementioned wrap dress has been re-imagined with a higher waist to suit little ones. It is timeless...colourful... effortless. That is very DVF" explains Belgian-born von Furstenberg, who shows her womenswear collections at New York Fashion Week and is also the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Mothers will undoubtedly fall for the plethora of accompanying accessories, such as sunglasses, espadrilles and sandals. All items feature a "DVF hearts Gap" logo and von Furstenberg optimistic mantra: "Love is Life." The colourful collection hits stores and online in the UK from March 28, with dresses starting from £20.
