about
In 1975 Egon started his own label in the United States, marketing a line of pullovers and men's shirts. He began womenswear in 1977.
In 1983, he started up his couture business in Italy. In 1990, Egon von Furstenberg introduced wedding and evening dresses into his collections.
During Rome's Fashion Week, his models would wear his creations while walking down Rome's Spanish Steps so famed as a tourist attraction, instead of a catwalk.
His house eventually included many other lines such as menswear, cosmetics, sunglasses, furnishing fabrics, ties, handbags and leather goods.
The Look
His designs were both eccentric and elegant. They have been very popular with elegant women for thirty years. He was renowned for his colour and romantic elegance. His logo spoke of his noble blood and love for high society - a curvy crown with a star.
