Diane von Furstenberg’s Brave Post After Scary Fall revealed that she had a fall in Los Angeles.
In an Instagram post from Tuesday, February 25, the 78-year-old designer posted a couple of selfies showing a noticeable bruise around one of her eyes.
“Upon my arrival in LA, I fell on the pavement and hit my forehead!” she wrote in the caption. “It certainly doesn’t look great, but I’m thankful that nothing more serious happened! I’m embracing it, using plenty of arnica gel, and relieved it wasn’t worse! Embracing it is the key to survival!”
Her followers, including several celebrities, have shown their support and sent well-wishes in response to her post.
“Oh Diane!!!! I’m so glad it wasn’t worse. Love you!!!!” commented Tracee Ellis Ross.
Singer Jewel added, “You poor thing! I once had a dog jump up as I was bending down to pet it—resulting in a broken orbital bone and a terrible black eye! But all you can do is own it! ❤️❤️🩹”
“Oh no. I’m so sorry,” shared makeup artist and brand owner Bobbi Brown.
In 2024, von Furstenberg celebrated the 50th anniversary of her iconic wrap dress and premiered her documentary, “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.”
“I had no idea when I created that little dress that it would become a social phenomenon and that people would still be buying it 50 years later,” she told PEOPLE in June about the famous design.
“I created the wrap dress, but in truth, the wrap dress created me. It just happened. I owe her as much as she owes me,” the author and philanthropist added.
In August 2024, the designer regained control of her DFV brand after four years under the Chinese licensee Glamel. At that time, it was also announced that von Furstenberg would bring in fashion executive Graziano di Boni to help with the transition.
I am in the process of reclaiming control of the business, which will bring about many exciting changes starting next year, von Furstenberg shared with PEOPLE in October 2024 during the opening of her exhibition “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion” in Los Angeles.
“I spent the entire COVID period working on this,” she explained. “I took a deep dive into the brand and its language, and then I reassembled the most talented people I had worked with before. We’re ready to kick things off in February.”
