Creator of the Wrap Dress &
Icon of Women's Empowerment

Fashion Designer. Entrepreneur. Author. Women’s Leadership Icon.

Diane von Fürstenberg is one of the most iconic and influential figures in global fashion and women’s empowerment. Born Princess Diane of Fürstenberg in Brussels in 1946, she arrived in New York in 1970 and within four years had designed the wrap dress, sold over 5 million of them, and appeared on the cover of Newsweek as “the most marketable woman since Coco Chanel.”

More than a fashion designer, DVF is a symbol of feminine power, independence, and reinvention. Her memoir The Woman I Wanted to Be is a celebrated account of how she built, lost, and rebuilt her empire — and how the journey of becoming the woman she wanted to be required confronting every fear and limitation the world placed on her.

Chair of the CFDA, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, DVF Award creator honouring women of extraordinary courage, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Women — Diane remains one of the most compelling voices on feminine leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal reinvention.
