Diane von Furstenberg Reflects On Her Time at the CFDA (Vogue)
Diane von Furstenberg recently held her last membership meeting as chair of the CFDA. As she readies to pass the torch to Tom Ford, the designer looked back on all that she has accomplished during her time with American fashion’s governing body. “My first big goal was to create a fashion family. We grew from 250 members to 500 members,” she told Vogue. She also shared thoughts on how the CFDA will fare under her successor. “Tom doesn’t need advice. It would be stupid to give it to him. It’s nice to come fresh and do it your own way. He’s very serious at everything he does, and he’s a little intimidating, which is good. But he’s a nice guy. He’s a statesman. It’s a great honor for me that he comes after me.”
