Power, Prints & the Return of the Wrap: DVF’s FW25 Collection Is a Masterclass in Bold Tailoring And Modern Femininity
I’ve long admired Diane von Furstenberg—not just for her iconic wrap dress, but for the enduring philosophy behind it. DVF has always championed the idea that style is a form of self-expression and empowerment.

It’s a masterful blend of heritage and innovation, proving once again that Diane is not just a designer, but a visionary whose work continues to shape the narrative of modern femininity.
