DVF

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.

Margherita Missoni

Margherita Missoni is the granddaughter of Ottavio and Rosita Missoni, the founders of the infamous Missoni fashion house. Perhaps the most publicly famous of the Missoni clan, she is both the face and spokesperson for the Italian brand. Her most recent Company involvement included the ridiculously anticipated Missoni x Target collaboration, which sold out in one day.
At only 28 years old, the fresh-faced fashion heiress is a seasoned veteran at fashion shows and events alike. Her on-point fashion sense, jet-setting lifestyle and famous circle of friends make her a fixture in the fashion community. Her inimitable bohemian-meets-European style (which almost always includes the signature Missoni zig-zag knits and psychadelic prints) have also made her the subject of several fashion chronicles such as Influence and The ELLEments of Personal Style. Founded in 1953, the Missoni brand remains a family-run business to this day and with Margherita at the helm, will undoubtedly continue to draw a young and hip following.
