Diane von Furstenberg, a Belgian-born designer and businesswoman, made a lasting contribution to fashion design with her flattering loveable wrap dress under DVF brand. Although she was born into the most ordinary family of electronics distributors, her life path was meant to be more vigorous, bright, and colorful with a remarkable taste in fashion design.
Since arriving in New York in the 1970s with a suitcase full of jersey dresses, Diane von Furstenberg has made fashion history and become notorious for timelessly flattering dresses. Unlike most designers, Diane embraces color and pattern with abundance in her personal style just as much as she does in her catwalk collections. However, in addition to her success in the fashion world, she also has a keen eye for interior design, as evidenced by her eclectic and bohemian house in Manhattan.
The architects of WORKac designing company created an unconventional home next to the High Line—the city oasis, where Diane von Furstenberg resides. But not only does she reside there! That’s a place where she inspires, works, meets guests, holds parties, and places valuable timeless items from all around the world. Already feel curious? We believe you are! We are very excited to take you on the virtual trip to her Manhattan house, where every room has its own spirit of fashion, love, and amazing patterns.
Join us on this journey to discover how a fashion designer would eventually design her own house! How would it look alike? Full of mannequins or fabrics? You will find out soon, so let’s start!
A retreat that keeps noise and mayhem at bay is one of life’s great pleasures. The glass-and-steel abode that fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg labels her “tree house” in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District seems to be exactly that. However, the remoteness of the high perch is misleading. The Empire State Building to the northeast and the mile-and-a-half-long High Line, a park constructed above abandoned elevated train tracks and of which Von Furstenberg was an early supporter, to the west, both scream for attention just outside its translucent walls.
