The economy is on a downtrend, but that doesn't mean your style quotient must take a dive with it. Diane von Furstenberg's breezy Spring/Summer '09 collection promises to inject a hefty dose of giddy optimism to help you brighten your mood.

Hitting the runwaywith bold colours, lush prints and flowers, von Furstenberg's sun-kissed girls seem to have sprung out of a technicolour Broadway production.

Let your hair loose, put on that flirty dress and smell the roses as you head out. We don't have to look dull just because of the impending recession.
