Diane von Furstenberg - from fashion icon to power woman

- Staying true to her simple, yet radical statement: "Feel like a woman. Wear a dress.", Diane von Furstenberg has become one of the most fascinating designers of our time. After gracing the cover of Newsweek in 1976 she was already known as an icon for female liberation, over five million of her wrap dresses being sold worldwide.

The iconic wrap dress was relaunched in 1997, together with a new clothing line from von Furstenberg. This time, it was the daughters of the first-wave audience who welcomed the wrap into their closets. Today, DVF hallmarks include graphic floral prints, cinch-waist skirt suits and forties glamour. The dress, however, still remains an iconic DVF piece, worn and adored by Hollywood stars and royalties alike, Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama among others.

You can now find DVF items in our webshop and Junk de Luxe store in Aarhus, even dresses featured in the latest episodes of fashionistas' favorite TV show, Gossip Girl.
