Diane von Furstenberg Talks Global Fashion at The Daily Beast’s Innovator Summit
DesignerSocial had the good fortune of taking part in an incredibly powerful event this weekend in New Orleans. Over 300 CEOs and captains of industry from finance to media to fashion to non-profit converged on the crescent city to ruminate on where we’re at as a country, and how to move America forward through innovation.
It was hard to pick just one speaker to cover, but Diane was the obvious choice since she is such an inspiration to us here at DS. When asked what the biggest challenge is that her brand DVF faces she said, “the speed of things”. And noted that at least 20% of a retailer’s business should be happening online.
