The Iconic Wrap Dress Celebrates 40 Years

Diane von Furstenberg is marking 40 years of the iconic wrap dress with an exhibit titled, Journey of a Dress in Los Angeles at the Wilshire May Company Building.  To celebrate, a fete was held last night with the designer and a few friends to view the dress that started it all.  “It paid for all of my bills,” Furstenberg revealed, when giving a tour.  Upon entering the exhibit, the photo of archives takes guests on a trip down memory lane. The timeless dress has been admired by all: Mrs. Obama, Madonna, Cybill Shepherd donning a DVF wrap dress in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, and Amy Adams in the recently released film, American Hustle.  Who knew an effortless chic dress that ties at the waist would have such an impact decades later. The Journey of a Dress exhibit ends April 1^st
