Diane von Furstenberg

Designer Biography

DVF's Fall 2011 line debuted with an ode to American Legends such as Diana Vreeland and Gloria Vanderbilt; graceful and stylish women that shook up fashion. Liquid-like pieces, high slits, pleats, drapey dresses symbolic of Studio 54 and the iconic 70s were rampant on the Fall 2011 runway, along with her classic wrap dresses.

In 1972, Diane von Furstenberg landed on the fashion scene with a simple, yet radical, credo: "Feel like a woman. Wear a dress." Five million wrap dresses later and the gorgeous wife of Austro-Italian Prince Egon von Furstenberg graced the November 1976 cover of Newsweek, touted as the most marketable designer since Coco Chanel—and a new icon for liberated women. After a stint with her own cosmetics line and a home furnishings collection, Brussels-born von Furstenberg stepped away from the fashion limelight and moved to Paris, only to reenter in 1992 with Silk Assets, a pioneer in television-shopping with its debut collection selling out in less than two hours.
