Create the best version of yourself

The Woman I Wanted to Be is not just an autobiography, but a living manifesto by Diane von Furstenberg, known as the “Mother of the Wrap Dress.” It opens the extraordinary life of a woman who created her own destiny and is essential reading for anyone seeking the motivation to live a full and independent life.

From her childhood in Belgium, with a resilient Jewish mother who survived World War II, to her youthful days entering the German Royal Family, it seemed that she could settle for the title of European Princess, but Diane bravely changed her path. She chose to leave the spotlight to build her own career, creating the wrap dress that became a global symbol of women's independence and autonomy. She recounted the process of building a million-dollar fashion brand, the ups and downs of marriage, family and the battle to overcome cancer. With a sincere voice, the book deeply explores the meaning of life, career and the desire to inspire a successful woman, truly "becoming the woman I want to be". For millions of readers around the world, the book has changed their perspective on life. Many readers agree that the book is not only a story about fashion but also a course on courage.

Reader Tran Kim Nhung in Chon Thanh ward shared: “What I learned from Diane is not how to dress well, but how to live independently. She taught me that true freedom only comes when you take responsibility for yourself and all your actions. That is the core strength that helps women stand firm in the face of all events.”

The book inspires the courage to take responsibility for oneself, affirming that happiness and success are not gifts given but the results of choices and constant efforts.

Diane's biggest message is to encourage every woman to create the best version of herself. She doesn't just want to inspire through fairy tales about wrap dresses or the title of Princess, but through practical lessons about overcoming personal crises, maintaining a sustainable career and becoming an independent, self-reliant woman. Diane believes that when women take control of their lives and are not afraid of difficulties, they will become a strong source of inspiration for the community.
