-WEDNESDAY WINDOWS-

Bergdorf Goodman 5th Ave. windows honoring 40 years of Diane Von Furstenberg

Where creativity meets victory, reputation becomes the by-product of notoriety. Brand recognition defines success, with novelty baked into repetition. Missoni styles with zigzags. Orla Kiely covers copiously with colorful leaves. Louboutin layers luxury with red lacquer soles. This week, Bergdorf Goodman celebrates 40 years of Diane Von Furstenberg and her patterned wrap dresses--a classic. What defines you?

 Monochrome magic; a tribute to DVF at Bergdorf Goodman

Success came by way of fashion and fragrance--not fate--for Diane Von Furstenberg, whose fashion endeavors began in 1970. In 9 short years, the annual revenue of Von Furstenberg's brand grew to 5,000 times her initial investment. In 1979, the DVF brand reported retail sales of $150 Million! A steadfast spirit and and a simple wrap dress became the anchor for a massive lifestyle empire, a philanthropic stronghold and a lifetime achievement award from the CFDA (2005). Here's to 40 years of DVF fashion!
