"Once upon a time, there was a princess with an idea. The idea was a dress. Not a taffeta ball gown like the ones fairy-tale heroines usually wear—this was a drip-dry, cotton jersey dress that wrapped in front and tied at the waist.... And even though the princess was a member of the jet set, famous far and wide as a glamorous party girl, her dress was seen as evidence of an uncanny knack for identifying with her customers: they felt that she must have understood them to have invented something so comfortable and practical, so suitable to their own everyday adventures and to their newfound sense of independence."-Holly Brauchbach, The New York Times
That is precisely how people describe Diane von Furstenberg. She refers to the pieces of her collection as her "friends"! My lovely friend Amanda Lee works for her currently and I can't help but be green with envy. Especially when I took a look at her collection at FW.

Bellisima, Diane!
