Truly Inspiring

This book is very interesting. YOu get to learn about the fashion industry and what to expect. Since I myself am interested in entering the fashion world as a career this book helped me understand that at times buisness may be stressful but always worthwhile. Diane von Furstenberg is a women that went through many hardships but was dedicated to her work, and someday i hope to do my work as succesfully as she did. -amanda, Grayslake

A glamourous life

Diane lets us inside her very glamourous life. she takes us from the 60's to the 90's. her life is full of fashion, family, friends and love. i really enjoyed this book and have a new admiration for diane.

A truly inspiring book for women of all ages.

Ms. Von Furstenberg has really opened-up to her public. She reveals much about the trials and tribulations of her past and present businesses, of being a princess and a socialite; an entrepreneur and a single-mother; and, all the while, a successful woman. She openly shares with her readers her feelings and insecurities, as well as her setbacks and triumphs. I think women around the globe can relate to, learn from, and find inspiration in her story.

Diane Von Furstenberg is an inspiration.

I'm not a follower of fashion or the society pages, but you don't have to be to love this book. It's a great business story, and a poignant look at an extraordinary woman's life. It has glamour, romance, sex, love, business triumphs and disappointments, motherhood, royalty, the Holocaust, cancer, literature, and more fresh starts than you can count. What a life.
