Diane von Furstenberg launches extended sizing on 11 Honoré
Good news for fashion fans: designer Diane von Furstenberg has launched extended sizing in her iconic wrap dress. Available exclusively through e-tailer 11 Honoré – whose business model is to serve designer looks in extended sizes and to promote inclusivity in the industry – the partnership marks the first time the designer has gone beyond a size 12. DVF’s silk jersey wrap dress has been designed in three prints for the site, each of which has been pulled from the archives. There’s the classic black and white houndstooth, a fail-safe leopard print and a hot pink floral design on offer, each of which is available in sizes 14-24.

A former magazine editor announced a new fashion app that lets you play stylist with new season pieces
This week, former editor-in-chief of Net-a-Porter’s Porter magazine, Lucy Yeomans, announced the launch of a new fashion game called Drest. Users of the game will be given briefs and creative challenges to complete, and will be tasked with choosing the models, clothing, hair and makeup and shoot locations. Plus, the app allows users to directly purchase items they’re styling. The first brand to participate is Gucci, who will unveil a weekly style challenge to users featuring its F/W19 collection. The app also features items from Farfetch. Yeomans said that in the future, the app plans to donate 5 per cent of every in-app micro-transaction to philanthropic causes supported by models and activists featured in the game. The app will be available for early download on October 8, before being fully rolled out in 2020.
