Now Diane von Furstenberg really does have it all. With the unveiling yesterday morning of her plaque on the Fashion Walk of Fame, the industry’s most glamorous mogul was officially added to the canon of fashion immortals. The ceremony honoring von Furstenberg and fellow inductee Liz Claiborne saw fans and friends such as Fern Mallis, Hamish Bowles, and Isabel Toledo decamp to the Bryant Park Grill for a bit of breakfast, a little speechmaking, and a lot of well-wishing. As she mingled with the crowd, von Furstenberg allowed herself to muse—briefly—on the longevity of her most famous creation, the wrap dress. “You know, I was in Italy last month to show my Resort collection and I saw the patternmaker who helped me develop the wrap. We had no idea it would be so big—or that it would keep coming back.” But she declined to speculate on why the dress had turned out to be such a success. “What can I say? Fashion’s a mystery. But, you know, would we want it any other way?”
