Diane von Furstenberg is heading into New York Fashion Week with a message that has nothing to do with hemlines. The 79-year-old designer posted an Instagram photo of herself in a black one-piece swimsuit and a sheet mask while getting ready for her show, with layered bracelets on her wrist and no filter in sight. Her caption said it all:“79 and no filter! OWN IT.”
The post is classic DVF. She broke her nose in a 2017 skiing accident and has openly discussed avoiding plastic surgery. Last year, after a fall in Los Angeles left her with a black eye, she posted the photos instead of waiting for the bruise to fade. Her take on aging has stayed consistent through all of it:“Owning it is the secret of survival.”
Celebrities including Andy Cohen and Jenna Lyons chimed in on the post, and her New York Fashion Week show is set for Thursday. Between the runway and the mirror selfie, she’s already given us the most talked-about moment of the week. What’s your take on posting with zero filters, would you do it?
