Speaking to the Washington Post on Thursday, Diane von Furstenberg offered three pieces of advice to aspiring fashion designers. “Right now the world is changing so much, so don't try to do it the old-fashioned way,” she first advised. Second, “focus very much on one thing” and “don't look for money because you'll spend it before you've done anything.” Finally, she recommends, “get clothes from the person who manufacturers them, because the person who manufacturers them is the one who has the most incentive for you to succeed.”
