Diane von Furstenberg is only interested in designing womenswear.

The 62-year-old clothing guru has little interest in making pieces for men or children, and is concentrating on creating items which woman lust after.

She explained: "I am not interested in making children's clothes. I want little girls to want to grow up to wear the clothes. I do not want to do men's clothes. My mission in life, what I understand in life, is women. I wanted to be a certain kind of a woman. I became that kind of a woman."

Diane thinks there is a "huge difference" between the clothes men and women make, claiming women tend to favour comfortable fabrics which are flattering while men opt for glitzy creations.

She said: "You know, because it looks more glamorous."

Diane is most famed for creating the iconic wrap-around dress which was popular in 70s, when her label first became prominent.

It faltered in the 80s and has now risen again, and Diane remains as thrilled with the success she is receiving now - the likes of Jessica Alba and Madonna have opted for her clothes - as she was first time round.

She explained to the New York Times newspaper: "It's absolutely wonderful to be considered cool by girls who are very often a lot younger than my children."
