After more than four decades in the fashion industry, Diane von Furstenberg understands what she's famous for — her iconic wrap dress. "People say I made the dress," she tells Salon. "The dress really made me. It paid my bills, it took me everywhere. I learned about life and I learned about women."
The legendary designer is also an author, a business leader, the official godmother of the Statue of Liberty (thanks to her work launching a new museum in her honor) and a tireless champion of other women. Nearly 10 years after von Furstenberg helped launch the DVF Awards to honor "the women who have had the courage to fight, the strength to survive, and the leadership to inspire," she opens up to Salon about this year’s recipients, which include lifetime leadership award winner, Anita Hill.
