Diane von Furstenburg Celebrates International Women's DayAfter Dior and Christie’s celebrated International Women’s Day on March 8th, Diane von Furstenburg stepped up to the plate and threw her own bash on Saturday at the United Nations. Meryl Streep, Christiane Amanpour, and Tina Brown helped her recognize strong female figures and distributed some brand-spankin’ new DVF Awards, and von Furstenberg assured everyone she still loves men.

The four women honored were Sadiqa Basiri Saleem, who set up a learning center in Afhanistan, Haiti’s Minister of Commerce, Danielle St. Lot, the French-Colombian politician Íngrid Betancourt, who was held captive for six months by a Colombian rebel group, and Catherine Chon of the Polaris Project, which fights slavery and human trafficking.

Other people who showed up to support women were Andre Leon Talley, the photographer (and ladies man) Gilles Bensimon, Iman, Tory Burch, Fran Lebowitz, New York City’s Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, and Candace Bushnell. And really, how could they not attend a celebration of women? Women are great.
