Diane von Furstenberg is a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion lines.

Diane - who is president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America - said: "When I became president I wanted to create a support group for designers - young or old.

In the 80s, Diane was a victim of the recession but successfully staged her comeback in the 90s.
