Diana von Fürstenberg does not like formalities and ceremonies - and when she meets the guests (and she has an immense acquaintance), and when it acts as the head of the Council of Fashionable Designers of America. To resist its seductive pressure is impossible - explosive creativity, endless generosity and the ability to give support, it inhales energy in everything, whatever dealt, not tired at the wrong fate for his own success. Divief, as she is called subordinates, loves the life that herself created himself - especially when she arrives from the headquarters of his fashion house located in Mitpking District in New York, to the French capital. "Here are my roots," she says.
In 1998, deciding to revive his fashionable business, Diana moved from the Parisian apartment and moved back to New York. The second wave of her success even surpassed the first - the one that is forever inscribed in history to all well-known and all walking dresses with the smell, which still remain an integral part of any fashionable wardrobe. Soon, the designer came again to Paris, this time - to buy his own apartment: she dreamed of "such that Sabrina could live", the heroine of Audrey Hepburn from the film of the same name. I must say, the condition of a similar version of Audrey would hardly approved. "Would you see that there was going on here: no floors, no doors, no water supply, in the corners of the pigeons nest, - remembers Fürstenberg background. "But the space itself was captivated: on the one hand Sena, on the other - the garden, with the third - dome of the French Institute, with the fourth - Eiffel Tower. Better not come up with! "
To this apartment at Fürstenberg, the designer speaks a special relationship, about which the designer speaks directly: "I placed it absolutely selfishly, everything is done here for me - as if in the best suite of some Paris hotel with a rich history. My family hearth is the estate of claws in Connecticut (InStyle wrote about him in October 2010), which is already more than 30 years old I and my friends call the house. New York is a city where I work, and Los Angeles is inextricably linked with my relationship with her husband (Barry Diller media signal. - Approx. InStyle). But Paris do not like my children, Barry is indifferent to him, so I decided to press my personal nest here. No matter how long and inconvenient is neither the next flight through the ocean, it is worth entering this wonderful romantic apartment and take from the hands of my housekeeper Anna-Marie a cup of tea, as mig mig rises. I intentionally made here only one bedroom - and I'm not ashamed for it. "
"In the interior design, the main thing is to surround yourself with luxury, do not forget about comfort. And vice versa".
