“When you get into a hotel room, you lock the door, and you know there is a secrecy, there is a luxury, there is fantasy. There is comfort. There is reassurance.”

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.
