At the hands of Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten, mixed prints and layers of contrasting fabrics somehow make sense when paired with graphic jeweled cuffs and oversized neckpieces. Diane von Furstenberg took a more bohemian approach to the tribal trend for spring—with armfuls of bangles and printed maxi-dresses—while Frida Giannini and Nicolas Ghesquière fell hard for the urban warrior.

The colorful bangles DVF used are actually recycled telephone wire made in South Africa. They are for sale at http://www.giftswithhumanity.com/Large-Colorful-Bracelet-p/sjwbl_variety....
This is consistent with DVF's interest in using fashion to improve the lives of others.
