A Woman To Admire: Diane Von Furstenberg

DVF - Diane von Furstenberg

International Woman's Day is tomorrow, March 8th. I don't exactly consider myself a feminist, instead I am proud to be a "Humanist." My made up word means I believe in equal rights for all......all races....all humans. But for today, I do celebrate a woman that I admire, Diane Von Furstenberg. Ever since I was a teenager, I was mesmerized by this young designer.  In 1972, as Diane launched her business, I wanted one of her wrap dresses more than anything. They were out of this young girl's budget, so my mother created one using a Vogue pattern. It was navy print, and I felt fabulous in it! 

It isn't only Diane's skills as a designer that I admire, her philanthropy and out reach to other women is beyond admirable. As found in Vogue UK: "She launched the DVF Awards in 2010, a scheme which aims to recognise women whose leadership skills and vision have has a positive impact on the lives of other women around the world. Supported by The Diller-Von Furstenberg Family Foundation, each honoree receives a $50,000 award from the Foundation to sustain and expand their extraordinary contributions. "Women never cease to impress and inspire me," the designer said, "and I am very happy to create these Awards to honour and reward their leadership and dedication to the advancement of women."

DVF'S  2nd Annual "In Charge" Celebration of 

International Women’s Day

This year Diane celebrates the power of women's voices and what it means to be "in charge with women like Gloria Steinam," Sophia Bush and more inspirational

 women. Details HERE:   

Diane is still doing her wrap dress in many variations, and moved on to a full ready to wear line along with accessories.  You may enjoy the History of the Wrap Dress HERE.  Below are a few of my favorites from her Spring 2019 collection. And for International Women's Day, DVF Will donate 20% to VV GROW.  And all of us enjoy 20% off full-price items. Use code INCHARGE. 

Lyra Silk Maxi

My favorite of the Spring wraps. Love the silk spots and the peek a boo shoulders. Fabulous!

DVF

Talita Silk Crepe Midi Dress

Named after Diane's Granddaughter, this flattering dress could be worn anywhere!

DVF

Rosalyn Cotton Eyelet Top

Here's a peek at the most beautiful top. It's chic to the max with stylish sleeves and a boxy, easy to wear shape. Diane suggests pairing it with white white pants.

Saks Fifth Avenue  or  Pre- Order at DVF

I will leave you with one of my favorite DVF Quotes. As women, let's not compete with each other. Instead, let's inspire each other. 

Thanks, Diane, for all of the inspiration you have

 given to me. I will try to pass it on.

That's A Wrap! The Best Of DVF'S Spring 2016 Collection

I remember my first DVF dress. Of course, it was the wrap done in a navy print. Oh how I loved that dress! If I still had it today, I know that it would have been just as stylish as it was then. Each year, Diane's iconic wrap is reinvented with prints and patterns, but the inspiration of power and independence for women, remains the same. To learn a little about Diane and the journey of her dress click HERE.  Her Spring Collection is one of my very favorites of the season.  Scroll down for some stylish standouts.
