"T minus three days until the official start of Fashion Week! So it&amp;#x27;s high time we pay tribute to one of the most legendary style icons in the biz: the classic, chic, and truly timeless Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress. This occasion is doubly timely, in fact, as the iconic frock celebrates its 40th anniversary this year! In 1974, after two years in the fashion business, the fearless designer Diane von Furstenberg introduced her revolutionary jersey wrap dress to the world. Here she that year at an Andy Warhol screening, steaming up the theater in a leopard-print version, which would be reintroduced time and time again. Diane relaunched her namesake company in 1997 to become the juggernaut that we know today. Here she is reimagining the classic silhouette with updated prints at her spring 1998 runway show. She matched the color scheme with now DVF image director and then-daughter-in-law Alexandra von Furstenberg. (Alexandra was married at the time to Diane&amp;#x27;s son, Alexander&amp;amp;#8212;I know, Alex and Alex, cute. Fun fact: He&amp;#x27;s a German prince.) Fast-forward to 2014 and the 40th birthday of the wrapdress, which of course warranted a celebrity-filled bash and a retrospective exhibition, &amp;quot;The Journey of the Dress,&amp;quot; at the LACMA. Model multi-hyphenate Coco Rocha showed her support in a fiery red version of that leopard print. And let&amp;#x27;s see which other celebrities have donned the wrap! We love the DVF signature frock for its versatility and ease-of-wear and A-listers&amp;amp;#8212;including the risk-taking Madonna in 2004&amp;amp;#8212;feel the same way. What else is fabulous about the wrapdress? It&amp;#x27;s work-appropriate. Just ask Michelle Obama (who owns a few, by the way) who wore a floral-printed and embellished style on a diplomatic trip to Mexico in 2010. The wrap dress can also be transformed into a red carpet stunner too, like this blue sequined kimono-sleeve gown that Rosario Dawson wore at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2011. I&amp;#x27;m also loving this key-hole-neckline and arty-graphic version that Zoe Saldana wore on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last fall. House of Cards actress Robin Wright and her model daughter Dylan Penn walked the red carpet of the 40th-anniversary party in an elegant mother-daughter set of DVF dresses. Dylan played with prints and colors, while Robin stuck to her intimidatingly chic Claire Underwood palette of all black. Dylan Penn wasn&amp;#x27;t the only young fashion scion to watch at the big bash. Watch out, world, for 14-year old Talita von Furstenberg, Diane&amp;#x27;s granddaughter and Alexandra&amp;#x27;s daughter. The teenage princess (yes, she&amp;#x27;s royalty too) was the perfect millennial wrap dress spokesmodel in a fresh and lively contrast print fit-and-flare. Do you own any DVF wrap dresses? I have a sleeveless black-and-white print one and a pink stripey long-sleeve collared style that I bought more than 10 years ago. They really never do go out of style. And which celeb look do you like best? I&amp;#x27;m going to go with Diane in the leopard. Rawr."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
