Diane Von Furstenberg

Diane Von Furstenberg is a fashion designer best known for her hallmark wrap dress.

She is most famous for introducing the “wrap dress” in 1973, an example of which, due to its important influence on women’s fashion, is on display at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fürstenberg has started a number of successful businesses including a line of cosmetics and has ventured into the home-shopping business, which she started in 1991. In 1985 she moved to Paris, France where she founded Salvy, a French-language publishing house.

By 2005, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awarded her a lifetime achievement award. In 2006, she was the CFDA president. In 1998 she published her memoirs “DIANE: A Signature Life.”
