Diane von Fürstenberg (born 31 December 1946) is a Belgian fashion designer best known for her wrap dress. In 1974, she introduced the knitted jersey "wrap dress", which became an iconic piece in women's fashion; it is included in the collection of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
She is the past chairwoman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), a position she held from 2006 to 2019.
In 2019, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.
Fürstenberg relaunched her company in 1997, and reintroduced the wrap dress, which gained popularity with a new generation of women.
In 2020, DVF closed 18 of its 19 USA stores permanently.
In 2024, Disney+ released Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge a feature-length biographical documentary of von Furstenberg's life and business.
