Eccentric Senior Designer Covers

DFV Wears Fishnet For Purple Fashion Magazine

Fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg, who is 62 years old, graces the cover of the Spring/Summer 2009 issue of Purple Fashion Magazine in a rather unusual style.

Famed photographer Terry Richardson captured Furstenberg in a hairy Maison Martin Margiela mini dress and fishnets. That’s a style that girls in their twenties would find it hard to pull off. One thing is for sure... she has killer legs!

Furstenberg explained on her official site, “How embarrassing at my age to be in fishnet stockings on the cover of a hip young magazine? I was seduced into a day with Terry Richardson, it was a lot of fun!”
