Design of the dress was a result of her divorce with the prince Von Furstenberg. In the 1972, when the couple divorced, she was passed in eyes of public as a „supported“ woman. Because of that common opinion she imagined a dress, which will symbolize individuality, femininity and inner power.

„Although my story is not pleasant, I actually realized, that I don’t want to be that „elite wealthy woman,“ designer said for W magazine. „That is far away from a woman I wanted to be. I wanted to be independent.“
Presently after the divorce she succeeded, she was selling 25.000 dresses per week, which even now days sounds totally unbelievable. „Usually fairy tales finish when a girl marries a prince, but mine has started when the marriage was over,“ added Diane von Fursenberg.
