Last June 18, New York based designer Diane von Furstenberg held a fashion show in a perfectly manicured garden setting at Florence, Italy. She sent models traipsing down a runway surrounded by lush greens, wearing light chiffon dresses and ruffled headbands. It was her first fashion show held in her native Europe.

I do sell in Europe and have shops everywhere and but it just so happened that they invited me and I accepted and after I accepted I thought, this makes sense, this is where it started,” von Furstenberg told Reuters. “Going back to Florence was a very nostalgic thing for me. My first factory was 25 km from here, and the wrap dress was invented here,” she said.
