“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.”
