Diane von Furstenberg on Her New Documentary: ‘I Have Lived a Long Life, and I Don’t Want to Apologize for Any of It’


Diane von Furstenberg's new documentary about her life premiered on opening night of the Tribeca Festival in New York City.

On Wednesday evening in New York City, “Woman in Charge,” opened the Tribeca Festival to a red carpet of European socialites, fashion luminaries and the same tall, beautiful, old-moneyed people who run around von Furstenberg’s biopic. The new Hulu documentary, which premieres on the platform June 25, tells the glamorized story of von Furstenberg’s life: A poor Jewish girl turned feminist icon and business tycoon who changed the face of fashion with the wrap dress. For von Furstenberg herself—who showed up in a flowing black-and-white DVF gown, glitter on her chest and usual buoyant bob, which bounces around the 77 year-old like it never left Steve Rubell’s dance floor—the documentary was a long time coming.
