An unprecedented visual odyssey celebrating Diane von Furstenberg’s forty years as a groundbreaking designer and fashion icon and the dress that started it all. In 1972, Diane von Furstenberg arrived in New York with a suitcase full of jersey dresses that she had made at her friend Angelo Ferretti’s factory in Italy. Two years later and encouraged by Vogue editor in chief Diana Vreeland, the distinctive design of her timeless wrap dress took the fashion world by storm and has evolved into a multitude of much-loved variations ever since. As visually dynamic as the prints that made von Furstenberg famous, this vibrant and long-awaited volume collects for the first time the rich illustrated history of her career and celebrates the forty-year journey of the iconic wrap dress. Featuring photographs by Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, and Francesco Scavullo, among many others, artwork by close friends such as Andy Warhol and Francesco Clemente, and pictures of wrap dress lovers past and present—from Jerry Hall and Iman to Penélope Cruz and Michelle Obama—this is the definitive, must-have DVF fashion book.

»Diane the Huntress« - Diane, die Jägerin: Ihr Spitzname stammt aus ihren wilden Jahren im New Yorker Studio 54. Diane Halfin wuchs in Brüssel als Tochter einer aus Griechenland stammenden Jüdin auf, die 1944 nach Auschwitz deportiert wurde und ihren Eltern schrieb, sie gehe »mit einem Lächeln«. Und so erzieht sie auch ihre Tochter: als Frau, die sich weigert, Opfer zu sein, und von ihrem Kind erwartet, dass es seine Chancen nutzt. Diane verinnerlicht dies und legt bis heute Wert auf ihre Unabhängigkeit. Ihre Ehe mit Eduard Egon Prinz zu Fürstenberg, an dessen Seite sie ein ausschweifendes Jetset-Leben führt und der Vater ihrer Kinder wird, währt nur zwei Jahre. Nach ihrer Scheidung entwirft sie Strickkleider und beginnt ihr eigenes Geschäft aufzubauen. 1973 bringt sie das berühmte Wickelkleid heraus, das sich als so stilbildend erweist, dass es heute im Metropolitan Museum of Art ausgestellt ist. Als eine der einflussreichsten Frauen ihrer Generation, die sich nach Rückschlägen stets neu erfand, wird sie zur Verkörperung des Prinzips, das die Mutter ihr mitgegeben hat: »Du trägst die Fahne der Freiheit.«

"A Bruxelles, petite fille de parents exilés, je pensais que rien ne m'arriverait jamais. Je m'échappais dans les livres, m'imaginant une vie pleine d'aventures. Je ne savais pas ce que je voulais faire plus tard, mais je savais quel genre de femme je voulais être. Une femme indépendante, libre, entièrement responsable de moi-même et de mes actes, fidèle à la vérité : je devais devenir ma meilleure amie". Prodige de la mode à vingt-cinq ans lorsque Newsweek lui consacre sa une, entrepreneuse pionnière et hors normes, Diane von Furstenberg n'a cessé de célébrer l'indépendance, l'amour et la liberté. Dans son autobiographie, avec franchise et tendresse, elle encourage toutes les femmes à devenir celles qu'elles veulent être.
