The Financial Times takes Diane von Furstenberg out to lunch, and returns with a new sense of empowerment and a serious case of joie de vivre. On her pride in her wrinkles: "'Yesterday this woman came to me and she said, ‘I’m so depressed, I’m ageing so fast – I’m 37,’ says DVF. 'I couldn’t believe it!
