DVF Awards NYC / U.N. Building
Where do i begin..this was such an inspirational evening on so many levels.. style, fashion, music, but most importantly humanism. The women who gave & received the awards that night had stories that are the stuff of legend.. google any of their names & u will find stories of courage, character, brave deeds, & noble qualities. Each one had a powerful story to tell or lesson learned to share. One that struck me the most was a story Diane shared. Her mother was imprisoned in one of Hitlers concentration camps for many years & was one of the few to survive. She weighed 45 pounds when they found her & her chances of survival were slim. Miraculously she was slowly nursed back to health, but told she would never bear children. Another miracle occurred when 9 months later Diane was born. She said of all the things her mother instilled in her the most important was this: “Fear is not an option.” and she would know… read on to hear about awards..
Diane Von Furstenburg x Warhol
Diane von Furstenberg is one of the premier names in American fashion.
The designer, known for her distinctive prints and her signature wrap dresses,has focused her efforts on women taking charge. This year she’s established the DVF Awards to honor outstanding women leaders.
The Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation has supported the awards, which will go to four women whose leadership and commitment have transformed the lives of other women around the world.
This morning the designer told “Good Morning America” that she created the awards because her mission is to help women who give back.
“Women have always inspired me so much, my mother was an incredible inspiration. And the older I get, the more I am impressed by women. I have never met a woman who is not strong,” von Furstenberg said.
Von Furstenberg has long been involved in Vital Voices Global Partnership, a nongovernmental organization that trains emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the globe. Two of the recipients of the inaugural DVF Awards are from Vital Voices.
The third recipient will receive the People’s Voice award, which will honor an American woman for her extraordinary leadership in promoting women’s rights. The public will vote for the recipient from a pool of five nominees.
Presenter Meryl Streep,Honoree Ingrid Betancourt,Honoree Danielle Saint-Lot,Presenter Robin Roberts,Honoree Katherine Chon,Presenter Christiane Amanpour,Honoree Sadiqa Basiri Saleem & of course DVF.

The Blonds Fall 2010 Collection
There is no better way to open a show than to have a giant, furry gorilla come trampling down it.
And that’s how the Blonds kicked it off. After an erotic strip show revealed said gorilla to be none other than the brand’s muse, Phillipe Rolano, a parade of sexy models sashayed down the runway in the most fantastical, over-the-top creations we’ve seen all week.
The brand’s serious fetish with all things tight, glittery and micro-mini came in the way of snakeskin corsets, gold sequined leotards, bras and frocks covered entirely in oversized gems, an ombre rainbow mesh strapless mini dress with matching heels, and a show-closing studded glittery bustier that would make Lady Gaga’s head explode.
And let’s not forget the amazing Christian Louboutin crystal-encrusted heels that came in the way of white, cotton-candy pink and baby blue.
An equally colorful crowd – which included Adam Lambert, Miss J, Jay Manuel, and Pat Field (who rolled in with her House of Field posse) – devoured every second of it.
All in all, it was a glam-tastic good time.
Oh Valentine’s. How you make me sick and bitter each year. For those who have a lover in their life, kudos! But for those people out there just like me…I’m not too thrilled about spending $50’s on a dozen roses which will die a few days later. I think DJ Rashida is on my side on this one guys.
As always, Hellz is there to provide you all with the finest music out in the air waves of today…this mixtape is no exception. You all know Rashida as princess DJ (but who wouldn’t agree? She is fly!). The wonderful, stylish woman is providing the right type of tunes for those not-so-excited about this ridiculous “holiday” they call Valentine’s (I love her non-conformist attitude). Download the mix…pass it on…get connected to Rashida!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
