We read today in WWD today that head designer Nathan Jenden was departing the hallowed halls of Diane von Furstenberg to focus on his own collection. Boo. But if the sexy Belgian designer has taught us anything over the last four decades, it's that she sure doesn't need a man to prove she's got a mind for design. In fact, some of her original pieces from the '70s and '80s are still enough to blow your mind...if you can find them. Our friend Christina at Mafalda in Brooklyn is selling one of the most gorgeous vintage floor-length jersey gowns I've ever seen, and, recently, I snagged a vintage DvF sweater at the Salvation Army that, yes, looks a lot like Alexander Wang. But here are a few more good finds from the eBay DvF archive...no expiration date whatsoever!
