Diane von Furstenberg is a living legend in the world of fashion. She created the iconic "wrap dress" in the 70's and after a brief hiatus she reintroduced the dress in 1997 and has been a fashion fixture ever since. Her global luxury lifestyle brand is now sold in 72 countries and she currently presides as the President of the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) by whom she was also awarded a lifetime achievement award. Her life has and continues to emanate glamour, case in point: she was previously married to a Prince, a muse for Andy Warhol and now casually tweets about her jaunts around the globe and hanging out with Oprah. Although tweets of that nature may seem like gloating to some, she focuses on being grateful for her opportunities and experiences and providing an insiders perspective into her inspiring life, thus allowing her followers to live vicariously through her. Also a philanthropist and glamorous grandmother, perhaps her most endearing trait is her thriving love for life and ability to motivate others, an example being her renowned mantras: "Love is life is love" and "Be the woman you want to be". Albeit simple, they allow the trivial matters of life to fall away and focus on what really matters.
