The DVF Awards

The DVF Awards, established by the influential fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg in 2010, is an annual event that celebrates and supports remarkable women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, courage, and commitment in various fields. The awards, founded by Diane von Fürstenberg and The Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation, aim to empower and honor women who are making significant contributions to society, particularly in transforming the lives of other women.

Each year, the DVF Awards recognize honorees in several categories, such as the "International Award" for women driving change on a global scale, the "Inspiration Award" for those who inspire others through their actions, and the "Lifetime Leadership Award" for women whose lifelong achievements have left a lasting impact. These awards are bestowed upon activists, entrepreneurs, artists, and leaders from diverse backgrounds, further emphasizing the global reach and impact of these exceptional women.

The DVF Awards ceremony is a significant event where honorees are celebrated and granted financial support for their non-profit organizations to further their important work. The Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation provides each honoree with a $100,000 grant, enabling them to continue making a difference in their respective fields.

Diane von Fürstenberg, known for her timeless style and the iconic wrap dress, has been a trailblazer in the fashion industry. Her wrap dress, introduced in 1974, quickly became a fashion sensation and remains a wardrobe staple today. The dress, which has sold for 50 years, is celebrated for its light, comfortable, and flattering silhouette, as well as its ability to empower women with confidence and body language.
