Summary:
"Fashion designer, philanthropist, wife, mother, and grandmother, Diane von Furstenberg writes about becoming the woman she wanted to be. She started out with a suitcase full of jersey dresses and an idea of who she wanted to be, 'the kind of woman who is independent and who doesn't rely on a man to pay her bills.' She has become that woman, establishing herself as a global brand and a major force in the fashion industry, all the while raising a family and maintaining 'my children are my greatest creation.' She reflects on her life--from childhood in Brussels to her days as a young, jet-set princess, to creating the dress that came to symbolize independence and power for an entire generation of women. She opens up about her family and career, overcoming cancer, building a global brand, and devoting herself to empowering other women"--Provided by publisher.
