Diane Von Furstenberg: Fall 2010 Collection
Diane von Furstenberg was born Diane Simone Michelle Halfin on December 31, 1946, in Brussels, Belgium. While attending the University of Geneva, Diane Halfin met Prince Eduard Egon von Furstenberg, heir to the Fiatautomobile fortune. The two were married in Paris on July 16, 1969. That same year she apprenticed with Italian textile manufacturer Angelo Ferretti and was soon designing simple dresses using his silk jersey prints. The von Furstenbergs moved to New York City in late 1969.
In her early months of designing and promoting, she worked out of the dining room of her Park Avenue apartment
Encouraged by designers Bill Blass and Kenny Lane and by Diana Vreeland, editor of the influential Vogue magazine, Diane von Furstenberg put together a collection of her dress designs. In April 1970 Diane von Furstenberg revealed her first collection at the Gotham Hotel in New York City. The price range was moderate, from $25 to $100.
