漫步在威尼斯的运河之上，穿梭于宏伟的宫殿与里亚托桥之间，便不难理解为何这座标志性城市如今成为了时尚界最具标志性的人物之一——黛安·冯芙丝汀宝的家。
她每年约有五个月的时间都在威尼斯：“这是我的舞台，”她说道，“也是我思考的地方。”

现年79岁的冯芙丝汀宝，即DVF，在20世纪70年代横空出世。让她声名大噪的是什么？一件灵感源自芭蕾舞者上衣的单品，一条舒适、实用又平价的小裙子。

当被问及是否厌倦了谈论裹身裙时，冯芙丝汀宝回答道：“嗯，我曾经是。因为当时我在做各种各样的设计，可人们总会提到裹身裙。我会说，裹身裙？够了吧。我还有那么多其他作品呢。”
这款于1974年首次亮相的裹身裙，灵感源于她在观看水门事件新闻报道时的念头。“尼克松的女儿朱莉·艾森豪威尔正在发表演讲，”冯芙丝汀宝说道，“天呐，她穿着我的小裹身上衣搭配蛇纹印花半裙。那一刻我就想，哦，你知道吗？我们应该把它做成一条连衣裙。”
到1976年，她的销量就达到了100万条。（“这太疯狂了，”她说道。）
《新闻周刊》
29岁那年，她登上了《新闻周刊》封面，该杂志称她为“自可可·香奈儿以来时尚界最具市场价值的女性”。
黛安·西蒙娜·米歇尔·哈尔芬于1946年新年前夜出生在比利时布鲁塞尔。她的父亲是一名商人；母亲则是大屠杀幸存者，从死亡集中营被解放时体重仅约49磅。“但她挺过来了，”冯芙丝汀宝说，“她的母亲每五分钟就像喂小鸟一样给她喂食。六个月后她就恢复了正常，13个月后，我出生了。她常说：‘上帝救了我，这样我才能赋予你生命。而你给予我生命，也让我重获新生。’”
在DVF成为时尚界翘楚之前，她先成了一位王妃。她嫁给了德裔意大利贵族埃贡·冯芙丝汀堡王子。两人共育有两个孩子，但婚姻并未长久。不过这段姻缘确实登上了头条，最出名的便是他们的开放式关系。
可以说，DVF的感情生活就是一本公开的书。“理查·基尔非常温柔，”她说，“我们有过一段短暂的风流韵事。”
她还坦言，曾在同一个周末和沃伦·比蒂以及瑞安·奥尼尔都有过“其他几段短暂的露水情缘”。“我曾经吹嘘过这件事，结果这话就一直跟着我了，”她说道。
她也曾谈及，在自己非常年轻的时候，先爱上了一个男孩，之后又爱上了一个女孩，而在那个年代，性取向流动还不是人们会讨论的话题。“我是说，任何上过寄宿学校的人都知道这种事会发生，”她说，“没错，我确实爱过那个女孩，我们现在还保持联系。”
2001年，她再次步入婚姻殿堂，这一次的对象是媒体大亨巴里·迪勒，又是一段备受瞩目的、频繁登上头条的恋情——尤其是在去年，83岁的迪勒在一本回忆录中透露自己对男性也有吸引力，但这并未影响他对黛安的爱。
她表示自己从未觉得这是个矛盾。“听着，我遇见巴里的时候，他可是个魅力十足的男人。奇迹发生了。那是激情，完全是我意料之外的事。”

当被问及对迪勒在回忆录中公开此事作何感想时，冯芙丝汀宝回答道：“我没什么感觉。我是说，我当时还鼓励他写这本书。他出版这本书很重要。但早在很久之前，他就已经向我坦白过了。所以，不，我很开心。他是我的灵魂伴侣，是我人生的伴侣。他就是我的一切。”
多年来，她的商业帝国也经历过不少挑战，但这个品牌历经各种财务起伏，依然存续至今。

“当人们说‘她太成功了’的时候——哦，她成功极了——其实说不定情况没那么好，”冯芙丝汀宝说道，“同样地，当人们说‘哦，她完蛋了’的时候，也未必如此，我那时其实已经在东山再起的路上了。”
如今，DVF依然密切关注着以她名字命名的品牌，同时由新一代设计师引领品牌的创意愿景。
相反，她正专注于设计自己将要留下的遗产，比如刚刚过去的一周在威尼斯举办的年度DVF大奖。该奖项今年已是第17届，旨在表彰那些正在改变世界的女性——从女演员兼活动家简·方达，到普利策奖获奖战地摄影师林赛·阿达里奥。
新年前夜，DVF就将迎来80岁生日，她说自己常常思考这件事。“每年我都会为即将到来的这一年心怀敬意，”她说，“我对死亡非常敏感，一直以来都是如此。”
对黛安·冯芙丝汀宝而言，这是一个反思的季节。“我觉得现在我正开启人生的最后一幕，”她说，“我希望这一幕不会太短暂，但无疑这是我的最后一幕——我人生的冬季。”
当被问及希望后人如何铭记自己时，这位设计师回答道：“作为一个热爱生活，并尽力以各种方式尊重生活的人。”

Diane von Furstenberg on life, love, and a wrap dress
2026-09-13 10:07 EDT / CBS News
Cruise the canals of Venice, amid the grand palazzos and Rialto Bridge, and it’s understandable why this iconic city is now home to one of fashion’s most iconic names: Diane von Furstenberg.
She spends about five months of the year in Venice: “It’s my stage,” she said. “It’s where I think.”

Now 79, von Furstenberg, or DVF, burst onto the scene in the 1970s. What made her famous? A single item of clothing inspired by the tops ballerinas wear, a little dress that was comfortable, practical and affordable.

Asked if she ever tires of talking about the wrap dress, von Furstenberg replied, “Well, I used to. Because I was doing all kinds of things, and people would say the wrap dress. I’d say, the wrap dress? Enough already. I’ve done so many more.”
The idea for the wrap dress, which debuted in 1974, came to her while watching, of all things, news coverage of Watergate. “Julie Eisenhower, the daughter of Nixon, is making a speech,” von Furstenberg said. “And oh my God, she’s wearing my little wrap top with a skirt in a snake print. And that’s when I thought, Oh, you know what? We should turn it into a dress.”
She would sell a million of them by 1976. (“It’s insane,” she said.)
Newsweek
And at age 29, she landed on the cover of Newsweek, which crowned her “the most marketable female in fashion since Coco Chanel.”
Diane Simone Michele Halfin was born in Brussels, Belgium, on New Year’s Eve, 1946. Her father was a businessman; her mother, a survivor of the Holocaust, who weighed about 49 pounds when she was freed from the death camp. “But she came back,” von Furstenberg said. “Her mother fed her like a little bird every five minutes. And within six months she was normal. And 13 months later, I was born. And she used to say, ‘God saved me so I could give you life. By giving you life, you gave me mine back.’”
Before DVF became fashion royalty, she became a princess, marrying Ëgon von Furstenberg, a German-Italian prince. They had two children together, but their marriage didn’t last. It did, however, make headlines, most notably for their open relationship.
DVF’s love life, one could argue, is an open book. “Richard Gere was very sweet,” she said. “We had a little fling.”
She also had “other little flings” with Warren Beatty and Ryan O’Neal, on the same weekend. “Well, I once boasted about that, and then it stuck with me forever,” she said.
She has also talked about, when she was very young, falling in love with a boy, and then falling in love with a girl, at a time when sexual fluidity was not part of the conversation. “I mean, anyone who goes to boarding school knows that that happens,” she said. “I mean, yes, I did fall in love with this girl, and we still talk.”
In 2001, she would remarry, this time, to media mogul Barry Diller, another high-profile, headline-making romance – especially last year, after Diller, at age 83, revealed in a memoir he was attracted to men, but that it was not a conflict with his love for Diane.
She said she never saw that as a conflict. “Listen, when I met Barry, he was this hot guy. Magic happened. And it was passion. It was not something that I expected, at all.”

Asked how she felt about Diller going public in his memoir, von Furstenberg replied, “I didn’t feel anything. I mean, I encouraged him to do the book. It was important that he did the book. But I mean, he had opened to me long ago. So, no, I’m happy. He’s my soulmate. He’s my companion of life. I mean, he’s everything.”
Over the years, her business has had its own challenges, but the brand, through all of its financial ups and downs, survives.

“When people are at the top of their success – Oh, she’s so successful – well, maybe things aren’t so good,” von Furstenberg said. “And the same way when people say, Oh, she’s finished, that can’t be, I was already on the way up again.”
Today, DVF remains close to the company that bears her name, while a new generation leads its creative vision.
Instead, she is focused on designing what she’ll leave behind, like her annual DVF Awards, held just last week in Venice. Now in its 17th year, the awards celebrate women changing the world — from actress and activist Jane Fonda, to Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographer Lynsey Addario.
On New Year’s Eve, DVF will turn 80 years old, which she says she thinks about a lot. “I honor the year I’m going towards every year,” she said. “I am very sensitive about mortality and always have been.”
For Diane von Furstenberg, it’s a season of reflection. “I think that right now I am starting my last act,” she said. “I hope it won’t be too short of an act, but it’s definitely my last act – the winter of my life.”
Asked how she would want to be remembered, the designer replied, “As somebody who loved life and tried to honor it in every way.”
