DVF is promoting her new book, The Woman I Wanted to Be, appearing on Colbert Tuesday night to discuss it. His first question: "You have been a princess; you have been a fashion designer. Which are the two most popular Barbies. Is there any kind of women that you wanted to be that you never were?"

Well, here's Diane von Furstenberg's attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Her limited edition collection for Google Glass will be available next week through online luxury retailer Net-a-Porter with a price tag as unpalatable as its design.

"My children's generation is the Chinese making everything, and now my…

DVF says she was inspired by Greece and by the dancer Isadora Duncan in formulating her spring 2011 collection. We'd add "a life of leisure," Pucci and her own back catalogue to that mix!

The 2010 Independent Filmmaker Project spring gala at The DVF Studio in New York brought out Tamblyn and Bledel and Clarkson and Sigler. But, because we love you, we're starting you off with Zachary Quinto.
