Diane von Furstenberg

Many of you know her from her appearances on Project Runway, but may have wondered why the competing designers stood around gawking when in her presence.
DVF carved her name in fashion history in New York 1972, when she introduced the world to her cotton jersey wrap dress. Due to its important influence on women's fashion, her wrap dress can be found in the collection of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1997, she re-launched a line of wrap dresses, and continues to include a reissue of a dress or two from her 70’s collections.
In 2005 Diane was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for her impact on fashion history, and only 1 year later, was elected the CFDA’s new president-a position she continues to hold today. She is also on the board of Vital Voices, a non-governmental organization that identifies, trains, and empowers emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the globe, enabling them to create a better world for us all.
Diane has her own stores all over the states, across Europe, China and Japan. You can also find her collections in various high-end retailers like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, etc. If you’ve got the eye of a tiger, you can still find DVF treasures floating around Vintage Shops and the occasional Thrift Store. We here at FOUND have been lucky enough to score some great finds. In one photo our friend Ashley is modeling a DVF bat-wing top paired with an acid-wash denim skirt and the second picture has Ashley wearing a pretty in pink DVF dress. Timeless pieces from a woman who continues to mold today's fashions.
