The stories of True Fashionistas

HISTORY OF DIANE VON FÜRSTENBERG

It’s time to focus the True Fashionistas spotlight on the well-rounded life of Diane von Fürstenberg. We’re confident that shoppers of True Fashionistas, Naples' best consignment store, would love to know about the inventor of the iconic wrap dress. As it turns out, she’s so much more than that. Ms. Von Furstenberg has spent the latter part of her life upping her Third Act game. As philanthropist and author, Ms. von Fürstenberg continues to this day in her efforts to make as much of a difference in the world as she did for fashion earlier in her fabulous life.

THE CROCHET LOOK IS HAPPENING

We’re so excited for the True Fashionista crochet trend that’s happening for fall! Crocheted clothing has been popping up everywhere, including at True Fashionistas, Naples’ best consignment store, and for good reason. A few of the trendsetters who are leading crochet’s comeback include celebrities Kim and Khloe Kardashian, rapper Saweetie and designers such as Diane von Furstenburg and Christian Dior.

BACK TO SCHOOL TAX-FREE SHOPPING PARTY

Did someone say tax-free shopping? Like magic, we start to drool just a little bit, and our hearts race as we sprint to True Fashionistas, the best designer consignment store, to score some deals for the young ones and a few for ourselves too. A sale’s a sale; just give us a reason!

HISTORY OF GIORGIO ARMANI

Although many True Fashionista fashion designers hail from Italy, Giorgio Armani is perhaps the most influential and well-known for his signature style of relaxed luxurious ready-to-wear lines and elegant, intricately woven evening wear, a collection of which can be found at True Fashionistas consignment store, Naples.

Besides shopping on a regular basis at a certain consignment store, Naples, and trolling Instagram nonstop, we’ll lay it out with the following handy list.

MUST-HAVE SUMMER PRINTS FOR FASHION SUCCESS

There’s a growing chance that we’ll be seen out and about much more this summer than last. Breathing a collective sigh of relief, the designer community embraced the feeling in their True Fashionista seasonal creations viewed in limited-seating and virtual runway shows back in December. We’re ready to live the result now, quite possibly without a mask to match (yay).

FAVORITE SUMMER ACCESSORIES

As we do the deep dive into summer (already hitting temps in the 90’s here in Naples, FL, home of True Fashionistas Resale, the area’s best designer consignment store), we’re eyeing our summer outfits, and that means: accessorizing! Three cheers for all the extras, peeps! Here’s a quick rundown of some True Fashionista faves happening for summer ’21.

HOME: DURABLE FABRICS ARE IN

Might your favorite chair now sport a little slightly-worn spot these days? Maybe your decorative pillows have been hugged just a bit too often while bingeing a streaming television show. These things happen, especially when staying at home is just what you (have to) do. Fortunately, the True Fashionista textile industry has your back, and fabrics that can hold up to extra wear and tear are all the rage for 2021.

FASHION COLOR TRENDS FOR FALL 2021

Straight from Pantone courtesy of WWD come the most anticipated True Fashionista color trends to know about this fall. Thanks to vaccines, there is an undeniable air of hope and optimism abounding for ‘21, and fashion is happy to reflect it in street style and more. Back in December, as Layla Lichi reported, Pantone revealed that Illuminating — a bright yellow hue — and Ultimate Gray are its 2021 Colors of the Year, as both represent unity, stability and hope. Perhaps Pantone Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman put it best, “When the gray clouds disperse, we see the sunshine.” Aside from these two, several energetic colors stood out on the Fall ’21 runways, like a denim, close to sky-looking blue, gorgeous greens, a proper brown in outerwear, fiery reds and luscious auburns and comforting beiges.
