“I am not allowed to be afraid. My mother made me like that. As a child, if I was afraid of the dark, she would lock me in the closet. Things like this. And she would talk about the time she spent in the concentration camp, but not about being afraid, only about the good side of it.”

Belgian fashion designer

Diane von Fürstenberg is a Belgian fashion designer best known for creating the wrap dress. She came to prominence in 1969, when she married Prince Egon von Fürstenberg and entered the German princely House of Fürstenberg. After their separation in 1972 and divorce in 1983, she kept his family name and remained widely identified with her work in fashion. Her public profile has been closely tied to that signature design, which became the detail most strongly associated with her name.
