  • Just 18 months before Diane von Furstenberg was born, her mother was a prisoner at Auschwitz Concentration Camp. As the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, DVF vowed from a young age to be in control of her own destiny, to create her own freedom. She went on to found one of the most recognizable brands and dress styles in fashion. She's a designer, mogul, an icon, and a woman for whom 70 is just the beginning of the next chapter in life. In this talk, DVF shares stories and lessons from her life, and encourages us all to find our power and connect to those around us. Diane von Furstenberg entered the world of American fashion in the seventies, when she arrived in New York from Europe with a suitcase full of Italian jersey dresses she had designed. Her iconic wrap dress soon became a symbol of power and independence for an entire generation of women. Today, DVF is a global luxury fashion brand celebrated for its creative and chic effortlessness and its bold approach to color and print. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      I wish she expanded more on that...more on the spiritual aspects of the lessons. Instead of just telling her general story. Also how she got tongue cancer soon as she stopped expressing herself. All those things are connected. A great talk either way!

    A wonderful talk that I thoroughly enjoyed. The difference is that it’s easy to design a life when you start with a different time, economy, privilege, population and most importantly did not need to think about your footprint. I am happy for her and really love the part about intention and her third act. I just find it strange that everyone is screaming about the warming earth, and we are mining deeper than ever, all of these people selling junk on amazon “designing their life, creating their brand”. I like to see people design their lives without it being at a massive expense to the planet.

      tracy g designing your life start with your passion and calling. if its means you contribute to healthier and more clean and peaceful earth you can design your life around it many people do. many people design their lives around sustainability minimalist and earth supporting life style and help educate others. in a paradoxical way the time we live in has much more opportunities to design the life you want.
