“I wanted to be a woman in charge,” Diane von Furstenberg, the iconic fashion designer who changed women’s apparel 50 years ago with the “wrap dress,” said. “And I became a conduit for a certain freedom.” This week in Davos, her work earned her a Crystal Award, presented annually by the World Economic Forum to creators and innovators making a positive impact on society. She sat down with GZERO’s Tony Maciulis to talk about bridging the gender gap, the “masculine wave” currently in politics and business, what it means for diversity initiatives, and how she views her legacy decades into her historic career.
