FINAL WEEKEND TO VISIT DIANE VON FURSTENBERG’S JOURNEY OF A DRESS EXHIBITION

About Journey of a Dress

In a year that marks the 40th anniversary of the wrap dress, the
exhibition focuses on a retrospective of vintage and contemporary DVF wraps,
with a timeline chronicling the journey of the iconic dress—from the first
sample to a world-renowned symbol of power and freedom for entire generations
of women. Limited Edition anniversary dresses created for the exhibition are
also on display.

Since opening to the public on January 11th, 2014, Journey
of a Dress has attracted over 50,000 visitors to-date. The exhibition
includes portraits of designer, muse, and collector Diane von Furstenberg by
celebrated artists such as Andy Warhol, Barbara Kruger, Chuck Close, Francesco
Clemente, Helmut Newton, and Annie Leibovitz. The work of Anh Duong, Zhang Huan
and Li Songsong is also featured, as well as that of other contemporary
artists. In A Ghost May Come—a stunning new piece from Dustin Yellin—the
likeness of a wrap dress is suspended in glass, while colorful illustrations
from Antonio, Ruben Toledo and Konstantin Kakanias strike a more playful tone.
The exhibition also includes stills from the wrap dress’ big screen cameos,
from Cybill Shepherd in Taxi Driver to Amy Adams in American Hustle.

For the conception and design of the exhibition, DVF worked
closely with Exhibition Designer, Bill Katz, Production Designer, Stefan
Beckman, and Fashion Curator, Michael Herz.

“I was 26 when I created the wrap dress,” says Diane von
Furstenberg, “I had no idea it would become such a phenomenon.  I am excited
and thrilled to have chosen Los Angeles to celebrate the four decades of The
Journey of a Dress.”

The exhibition is housed in the historic Wilshire May Company
Building, the former home of the famous May Co department store and the future
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

DVF will be celebrating throughout 2014, kicking off with a
Limited Edition Collection created in collaboration with The Andy Warhol
Foundation, available exclusively at DVF.com and in DVF shops. DVF is also
inviting women all over the world to become a part of the journey by sharing
their photos using #journeyofadress and submitting their personal wrap stories
and photos at dvfwrapstory.com <http://dvfwrapstory.com>.

The exhibition opened to the public on January 11th,
2014 and will be on display through May 1st, 2014.
