It's been 40 years since Diane von Furstenberg debuted her iconic wrap dress, which not only impacted the fashion industry, but also the lives of the women who have worn it. With over 200 examples of the famous frock and photos from the designer's life, a new retrospective, Diane von Furstenberg: Journey of a Dress at the Wilshire May Company Building in Los Angeles, honors the piece that is so much more than just a dress. "I owe so much to the wrap dress, and now it allows me to encourage other women to be that woman they want to be. It is a very powerful thing,” von Furstenberg said.
