Must Have: 30 Haute Dresses for Fall-Winter 2013

DVF and her legendary quote

Rest assured every woman should be familiar with wrap dress inventor Diane von Furstenberg's legendary quote, "Feel like a woman, wear a dress."

Yes, it is undeniable that a dress makes a woman; any die-hard fashionista would wholeheartedly agree. And like food, it is a wardrobe staple.

From the fluidity of lines that envelopes every inch of that feminine flesh to the smallest of details, dresses are certainly the absolute tool that invoke a woman's sensuality from within. 

Mystical as it may sound, depending on the silhouette and how high the hems could go - well, ask any man and he would be delighted to see the hems go "above average" higher - a dress possesses a power that could command the attention of any man. Just like how those sinful red lips work all the time. 

Thus, if you happen to plan on your upcoming fall/winter wardrobe, why don't you stock any - or all - of these wonderful picks from the fall/winter runways?
