Being it all is hard work. Having it all makes up for it”
Diane von Furstenberg
That line feels less like a quote and more like something learned through living. It doesn’t soften what it means to carry ambition, responsibility, and independence at the same time. It simply tells the truth. That sense of honesty runs through Diane von Furstenberg
There are certain names in fashion that become part of the language. In American fashion especially, DVF has long been associated with confidence, ease, and a way of dressing that supports a woman’s life rather than competing with it.
The DVF New York flagship reflects that same sensibility. Books, sketches, handwritten notes, layers of imagery , everything feels gathered over time. Creative and vibrant. Personal, but grounded. A world built slowly, with care.
That opening quote lingers because it mirrors the brand’s legacy. Building something that lasts requires commitment and clarity. There’s strength in staying with what works, and confidence in allowing it to evolve naturally.
That, to me, is what timelessness looks like. Clothing that feels lived in and intentional, never bound to a specific moment. A brand that knows itself. And a legacy that continues , quietly, steadily, and with grace.
