Diane von Furstenberg, a Belgian-born designer, significantly impacted fashion with her flattering and practical wrap dress. Debuting in 1974, the original design was a long-sleeve silk jersey dress with a fitted top and a wraparound skirt that tied at the waist. By 1976 millions of wrap dresses had been sold. Although the wrap dress has moved in and out of fashion, by the 21st century it was widely regarded as a classic and dependable staple of professional women’s wardrobes.
