Few women embody the gravitas, grace, and gusto of the incomparable Diane von Furstenberg. A citizen of the world and the child of a Holocaust survivor, her story and its impact have uplifted people around the globe. 

As she approaches the eve of her retrospective exhibition, marking a fifty-year distinguished career, Diane von Furstenberg contemplates her pioneering path in a male-dominated realm to erect a multi-million-dollar fashion empire—as an early visionary, and influencer, she challenged the status quo with the bold inquiry, "Why can't a woman do what a man does?"

With resolute determination, she faced various challenges—she was a single woman balancing a career, raising two children, and bravely confronting cancer. These hurdles didn't stop her; instead, she embraced them and they fueled her mission to inspire women everywhere to pursue their lives with equal passion and purpose and design their own lives. DVF was born to be a woman in charge. And, she was born to inspire other women to take charge of their lives.

Join us for an unprecedented look at the non-stop life of a cultural luminary.

Featuring a post-screening panel with Diane von Furstenberg, co-director Trish Dalton, and producer Tracy Aftergood, moderated by fashion writer and editor Merle Ginsberg.
