Beskrivning

A fashion book tribute to the creative feminist vision of Diane Von Furstenberg, featuring color photographs of her iconic wrap dress and the iconic women who wear it.In 1972, Diane von Furstenberg created a chic and universally flattering ready-to-wear jersey wrap dress that launched her career and would forever change the landscape of women’s fashion. Since then DVF, the woman and the brand, have created designs that empower and promote a woman’s sense of self, weaving feminism and activism into the brand’s DNA.This visually vibrant fashion coffee table book, which accompanies an exhibition held in von Furstenberg’s hometown of Brussels, features nostalgic and contemporary photographs of her journey as a designer. Printed with three different luxe paper stocks with varying inserts in each chapter, this book features beautiful graphic fabrics flooding each page, alongside numerous images of the wrap dress worn by von Furstenberg and models Jerry Hall, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford. Original essays discuss the intersection of Von Furstenberg and her designs with feminism, gender politics, and entrepreneurship, with personal anecdotes from collaborators like model Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Stefani Greenfield. Unique and contemporary, this is a story of the inimitable designer, her brand, and the significant role of a single dress that continues to inspire generations of women.

Recensioner i media

"The book features nostalgic and contemporary photographs of DVF's journey as a designer, featuring original essays discussing the intersection of DVF and her designs with feminism, gender politics and entrepreneurship. It also shows the wrap dress worn by DVF, and models such as Jerry Hall, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford." —WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY"Fashion folklore credits the jersey wrap dress with freeing the modern woman from the ever-restrictive grasp of her assigned garb. Pulling the strings of that revolutionary style statement was none other than Diane von Furstenberg. DVF—both the woman and the brand—has always made a point to put women before fashion. It’s with that unique philosophy in mind that fellow Belgian Nicolas Lor, Head of Exhibitions and Publications at the Brussels Fashion & Lace Museum, has whipped up this effervescent tribute to the feminist tour de force that forever changed the landscape of women’s fashion. A celebration of craft or a retrospective on reform? Call it what you may. Diane Von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion is a lesson in fashion history." —V MAGAZINE
