How Nixon’s Daughter Inspired the Wrap Dress and Other Words Words of Wisdom from DvF
By Lauren Sherman
One of our favorite fashion people, Diane von Furstenberg–who apparently just goes by DvF now, as Diddy goes by Diddy-Dirty Money–is great in front of an audience. She says ridiculous, off-the-cuff things that are actually true, and it’s hilarious.
And last night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, DvF didn’t disappoint, dolling out some real–as in real funny–advice:
Best snack that won’t make you gain weight? “Your nails.”
Biggest turn off in a man? “I don’t like men who tell jokes. I like shy men. My husband was a very shy when I met him.”
One thing you should never wear past the age of 30? “Diapers.”
She also let on about how her career-launching wrap dress came about.
When was the first time a celebrity wore your clothes? “It was Nixon’s daughter Julie and she made a speech and she wore a little wrap top with a matching skirt and i thought that was really nice and that’s when I decided actually to attach it and turn it into a dress.”

DvF looks smokin’ in that 70′s shot. The amazing thing – you could absolutely wear the exact same outfit today and look really elegant. Love her droll sense of humour – you can tell that she has led a full life outside of fashion too.
love her too…and wrap dresses are one of the most amazing pieces of clothing ever!
Wrap dresses – great on everyone EXCEPT me. I had an embarrassing unwrapping incident in one of her dresses many years ago….
Hi the_dark_lady_2! I totally agree that DvF looks smokin’ in the 70s. Best is that she still does look hot — despite the fact that she’s opted out of ridik plastic surgery. She’s one smart, sexy woman who’s not afraid to age. Love & Kisses to Diane_v_F, for being who she is.
I agree totally with you, though I’m a bit pissed off with her – when complimented on her beauty she says “No I’m not.” (Can’t remember where I saw that, but it happened at least twice). DvF: you are hot because you are charismatic, hilariously funny and look great. Lap up the adoration, don’t push it away!
