There are a handful of people that I have wanted to be like when I grow up - Ms. Von Furstenberg is one of those people. She was gracious and genuine - truly very comfortable, not only in her own skin, but in general. I found myself flustered for words a little bit when she said "well, you don't want to be me." And I thought, "Yes. Yes, I do."
The tagline for the fragrance is "Be the woman you want to be." Diane says that, growing up, she didn't know what she wanted to be, but she knew who she wanted to be. So she spent her effort becoming that woman and discovered what she wanted to do along the way. I think the woman I want to be could be Ms. Von Furstenberg.
My five minutes with her weren't really five minutes. As she is - obviously - incredibly popular and busy, I only asked one question. Lauren (seen above) asked lots of really good questions with answers that will appear in 425 Magazine soon.
Is there something you are known for cooking?
Oh, yes, Saturday Night Chicken.
What is Saturday Night Chicken?
Saturday Night Chicken is my chicken. What I do is put a lot of sage and a lot of mustard inside the chicken and I cook it very hot and it's very good.
I left the interview feeling so inspired. And really thoughtful. Who do you want to be? Are you working to be that person?
I also really want to make Saturday Night Chicken.
