The Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion exhibit is now in Los Angeles, where it'll run through September 1st. It debuted at the Fashion & Lace Museum in 2023 in Brussels the birthplace of von Furstenberg. It was attended by all manner of celebrities and admirers, including Cindy Crawford, Jessica Alba, and much more.
“For a lot of us here, we learned how to operate in the world watching her and by her leading through example,” said Alba, per WWD.
“When I was starting my business, at first I was fearful, but she opened up so easily and was so welcoming, sharing her wisdom and advice,” she continued. “She’s this warm hug but then this fierce icon.”
Crawford shared that von Furstenberg helped women feel powerful in their clothes. “She showed women how to dress for work and still be sexy,” she said. “It wasn’t women wearing men’s clothes.”
