LAST WORD:
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
…on the topic of BEING YOURSELF One of the most important things about fashion is to dress as well as you can, look as attractive as you can, and at the same time be comfortable with yourself. Be easy about your clothes; forget about them. If you’re not sure what to wear, if you don’t know how everyone else is going to be, then just be at your most beautiful. If there is one rule for dressing, for fashion, it’s pretty much the same rule as for everything else in life: Don’t go against yourself, don’t go against your own nature. It’s only going to show.
Fashion is mysterious, as a rule.
Why are blue jeans a classic? You just hit on something that happens to be
TIMELESS AND RIGHT. -DIANE VON FURSTENBERG
Not only does she empower young women through fashion, but also philanthropy and mentorship. Von Furstenberg currently sits on the board of Vital Voices, a nongovernmental organization supporting female leaders and entrepreneurs around the world.
