The life that Diane von Furstenberg has lived is one of jet-setting romances, European aristocracy, Studio 54 conquests, gay lovers and tycoon successes that needs to be seen to be believed. The film festival premiere for her new biopic, “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge,” offered a fleeting glimpse.
On Wednesday evening in New York City, “Woman in Charge,” opened the Tribeca Festival to a red carpet of European socialites, fashion luminaries and the same tall, beautiful, old-moneyed people who run around von Furstenberg’s biopic.
Candice Bergen was there. So was the Consulting General of Belgium in New York. You may have spotted executives from fashion brands like Neiman Marcus, David Yurman, Estée Lauder, Kering and many more. Karlie Kloss walked the red carpet, and the Greek Royal family made an appearance, including Marie Chantal, the Crown Princess of Greece, and Prince Achielieas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark.

An ever-upholding vanity project portrait of a dyed-in-the-annals sartorial icon, “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge” is an engaging enough documentary for the small screen but not big enough to merit anything more. That’s appropriate, as the movie heads to Hulu two and a half weeks after its Tribeca Festival premiere in a New York theater. Directors Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Trish Dalton’s film is a hagiographic survey of the life and career of the Jewish girl born in Belgium who married into German royalty, became a princess, and started a fashion empire that included the invention of the now-ubiquitous wrap dress. With talking heads including Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, the documentary emerges more as agitprop for feminist galvanizing in the months up toward an election in which women’s rights are on the slab.
Though certainly spikier and with a zero-fucks-given, indecorous lack of platitudes is talking head Fran Lebowitz,...

Diane von Furstenberg, a name synonymous with elegance, reinvention and resilience, finds herself once again in the spotlight with the Tribeca Festival premiering the documentary Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge. Directed with a keen eye for the intricacies of an extraordinary life by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Trish Dalton, the film offers an intimate portrait of a woman who transformed not just fashion, but also the concept of feminine power and independence.
The film opens with von Furstenberg, now in her 70s, perched on the edge of a sink, both feet in, facing the mirror to apply makeup. This unconventional choice sets the tone for a documentary that does not shy away from von Furstenberg’s unrepentant embrace of her age. Her attraction to wrinkles, as she candidly shares, is a testament to her acceptance of every phase of life, and being true to herself.
