What to know about DVF
One dress built the house
Founded in 1972 around the jersey wrap dress and bold graphic prints, which still anchor the collections and explain why tops are the strongest category.
Still independent, newly redirected
The company remains family-controlled under CEO Graziano de Boni, with Nathan Jenden named creative director in early 2025 and showing his first collection for spring 2025.
Archive sold alongside new season
DVF Vintage, launched October 2025, resells past pieces from the archive, while a February 2025 Zalando deal handles European retail; the flagship is on Washington Street in Tribeca.
