Roberto Cavalli is the most recent example of the frenzy and chaos that can ensue when a high-end designer produces an affordable line for the masses (his recentt ground-breaking collection for H&M followed the massive success attained by the likes of Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfeld). Sadly, apparently one of our favorite designers, Diane von Furstenberg, isn€™t interested partaking in this "couture for the masses" craze currently sweeping the fashion nation. In an interview about the trend of high-end designers doing low-end lines, the queen of the wrap-dress was extremely complimentary. €œI encourage people to do that. I think it is very good that those mass merchandisers are using
designers. It's good that they respect the value of that.€� However, when asked why she€™s opting to pass, she stated, €œWell my price point is high. I don't know. Right now I am not going to do that." Here€™s hoping she changes her mind soon, cuz I need me a $39 wrap dress that doesn't look like a toga!
