Exhibition. Diane von Furstenberg, Woman Before Fashion

From 21 April 2023 to 7 January 2024 at the Fashion & Lace Museum.

The wrap dress, the emblematic piece, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. This is the occasion for the museum to dedicate an exhibition to the designer, Diane von Furstenberg. Discover the extraordinary career of this Belgian who became an international fashion figure.

Woman Before Fashion is not a retrospective but a free approach to Diane von Furstenberg's work. The exhibition invites the visitor to apprehend the designer's specific language of colours and prints applied to her emblematic wrap dress.
