Photobook Woman Before Fashion

A tribute to the creative vision and feminist philosophy of Diane von Fürstenberg and her eponymous brand, whose iconic wrap dress, created fifty years ago, is still an expression of personal freedom and self-empowerment for women around the world. In 1972, Diane von Fürstenberg designed a chic, universally flattering jersey wrap dress that launched her career and was to change the world of women's fashion forever. Since then, both the designer and the DVF brand have created designs that empower women and have woven feminism and activism into the DNA of the brand. This visually vibrant book, which accompanies an exhibition in von Fürstenberg's hometown of Brussels, showcases nostalgic and contemporary photographs of her journey as a designer. Printed on three different luxurious papers, with different inserts in each chapter, the book features beautiful graphic fabrics on every page and numerous photographs of the wrap dress, worn by von Fürstenberg as well as models such as Jerry Hall, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford. - Author: Nicolas Lor - Hardcover with 208 pages - Language: English - Publisher: Rizzoli
