With remarkable honesty and wisdom, von Furstenberg mines the rich territory of what it means to be a woman. Diane von Furstenberg started out with a suitcase full of jersey dresses and an idea of who she wanted to be - in her words, "the kind of woman who is independent and who doesn't rely on a man to pay her bills." She has since become that woman and much more, establishing herself as a global brand and a major force in the fashion industry, all the while raising a family and maintaining "my children are my greatest creation."

Go Idaho said Less about her amazing accomplishments as a business woman and designer, more about her stifling love affairs with men.. I have painfully pushed through Less about her amazing accomplishments as a business woman and designer, more about her stifling love affairs with men. Go Idaho I have painfully pushed through 40% of this book and can't go on any longer. This is not about the woman she wanted to be, this is about the woman and every single stifling love affair with countless men.

I was really excited about this memoir, which seems to have been timed perfectly with the recent launch of DvF's reality TV series. Aside from the first chapter, which tells the story of Diane's mother surviving the Nazi concentration camps, the rest of the book feels like an impersonal account of Diane's personal and professional milestones, with random stories sprinkled in between.

A great autobiographyfrom a woman who has lived and continue to lives a very exciting , full life. My favorite sections were about her motherand about her husbands/family. She is a true heroine!
