Happy Birthday Diane von Furstenberg

Diane Von Furstenberg will celebrate her birthday with 63 candles on her cake.  Diane is interesting because in 1969 she married Prince Egon of Furstenberg, making her a princess. (When they divorced, I think she no longer qualified as a princess.)  When she married Egon, she decided she did not want to be a “plain little girl who married beyond her desserts.”  In 1970 she began designing women’s clothing, hitting a design home-run with a wrap dress in 1973. I had the Vogue pattern for that dress and made about three dresses.

I also had the same dress leave me half dressed when the tie came undone. Here are some Diane von Furstenberg shoes to admire.
