Ms. Von Furstenberg made a name for herself in the 1970's, with a jersey wrap dress that became so popular, it quickly sold over a million pieces. The mad rush to acquire these dresses is understandable - they're insanely comfortable, easy to wear and really flattering. Currently, you can find DVF wrap dresses for around $335 online and new. However, if you don't have an extra $300 lying around but you can still splurge just a little bit, a vintage DVF wrap dress averages around $100 on Etsy.
The success of the DVF wrap dress led to an incredible amount of success - clothing, cosmetics, fragrances, sunglassses, luggage and even a publishing house.
In 2012 Diane was named the most powerful woman in fashion by Forbes and today, the DVF brand is sold in 55 countries and has 98 shops worldwide.
