Although Diane Von Furstenberg is generally known for her signature wrap dress, the 'Tales of Endearment' photo shoot reveals countless other classic styles from the iconic designer.
Photographed by Natalie Joos, who was given access to DVF's personal archives - something that has never happened before, not even for Furstenberg's granddaughter - the editorial is a retro and romantic collection of images showcasing colorful prints, eye-popping accessories, and of course, the classic wrap dress. The series was shot on Furstenberg's personal estate in Connecticut and combines vintage with current season pieces for an almost biographical look at the designer's career.
What I love most about the Tales of Endearment shoot is how personal and inviting it is, making you feel as if you were right there playing dress up with Diane by your side.
