Diane von Furstenberg Celebrates Saks Opening in D.C.

Diane von Furstenberg went to Chevy Chase, MD. to celebrate the opening of Saks Fifth Avenue's newly flagship store. She spoke candidly of her health, her brand and her favorite presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, reported WWD.

von Furstenberg is known to Campaign hard for her label and the causes she supports. She admitted her skiing accident she suffered at the end of March has taken a bit of a toll. "I broke my shoulder. Then I went to Los Angeles and I rested a little bit. Then I came straight to the Kennedy Center [to introduce Clinton to 2,500 supporters at the 2013 Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards].

"It was her first public appearance [since stepping down as Secretary of State] so how could I not be there? It was such an honor. I was supposed to have had surgery," said von Furstenberg.

From there it was back to New York for the Women of the World Conference and the DVF Swards. "I had to do interviews, and I can't comb my hair. It was pretty hard. Then, Saturday morning I was supposed to have surgery, but I decided not to do it. It was not obligatory. I hope I did the right thing.'
