Trailblazing fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg joins The Times in a preview of the U.S. premiere of an exhibition about her life and work, including that beloved wrap dress, at the Skirball Cultural Center.
Diane von Fursternberg stands next to a timeline of her accomplishments on a bright pink wall at the Skirball Cultural Center in L.A. 'When you get old, you get lots of awards,' she says, brushing off her inclusion as one of Time's 100 most influential people in 2015 and receiving France's highest distinction, the Chevalier de la Légion D’Honneur in Paris 2020.
Von Furstenberg's husband helped to arrange the meeting, and Von Furstenberg arrived with a big suitcase full of designs, which she put on hangers on a large rack. She recalls the office as being 'super glamorous, with colors and jewelry and scented candles,' and then 'all of a sudden this dragon lady comes in, hair black, black, black, and red lipstick and red nails and a big cigarette holder.' The first thing Vreeland did, Von Furstenberg says, was push her chin up.
