Reissued Vintage Prints

A few years back, DvF realized the great demand for her classic prints, and started offering the Vintage Reissue Collections. Classic prints used by Diane in the past have been re-released, done in silk jersey fabric this time, and prints are either the same colors or modified/updated in new color schemes. These are called the "Vintage" collections. Like the timeless wrap dress, these prints have stood the test of time, staying popular through the 70s, 80s, 90s and are now reappearing in the new millenium in the fabulous silk jersey material. They are more popular than ever, and deservedly so!

These prints are hard to find discounted because some shops decide to never reduce the price of these (Neiman Marcus, specifically, will save the wrap and sell it the following year -- I found several 2005 Vintage Collection wraps this summer at their stores). I guess they know how popular these dresses are and count on them to sell no matter when the print was introduced! However, the DvF shop does not save these prints, so I would recommend that if you see something you love, buy it immediately or it may be gone.

These should all have the pink "Vintage" scrawl on the neckline labels, along with the typed "DIANE von FURSTENBERG". When the first re-released the Leopard Brown Jeanne wrap and Links Julian wrap, the dresses did not have these special labels; however, when they cut the second batch, these special tags were added. Only these items have the pink "Vintage" on them! If you see that tag on the Chain Link, Racing Kye or Nets Brown, the dress is a counterfeit!

A (mostly) complete list of vintage prints that have been reissued:

If you see something you like, please contact me to discuss sizing and/or to work out details such as shipping preference, total price and payment options (email: FashionForwardStore@hotmail.com).
All items available for pick-up in NYC. Shipping cost is additional and I prefer USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation for US addresses and Global Express for International addresses. Cash, PayPal, Western Union, USD money orders and USD bank drafts accepted. Credit/debit PayPal payments have an additional 5% surcharge added to cover the fees that PayPal assesses, so if you can pay by non-credit/non-debit card PayPal, you can avoid having to pay that additional 5% surcharge.
