MARY GROVE: Hello, good afternoon, how is everybody?

動名詞

My name is Mary Grove, and I'm the director

of Google for Entrepreneurs, and it is my tremendous honor

to welcome Diane Von Furstenberg back to Google.

like to share three things that I particularly

The first is that she is the ultimate entrepreneur,

an incredible self starter whose story really embodies

From Diane's arrival in New York City in 1970

DVF products are now sold in 55 countries around the world,

and has evolved far beyond the iconic wrap dress which we're

celebrating the 40th anniversary of this year.

Number two, is Diane's steadfast commitment

In 2011 she established, through the Diller Von Furstenberg

And these awards recognize women who show tremendous courage

I admire everything she does to support women.

And thirdly, I admire her generosity and openness

her own amazing family history, her journey in establishing

and building a global brand that is loved around the world,

her personal battle with cancer which she fought courageously

and successfully, and her views on love and life.

Please join me in welcoming Diane Von Furstenberg.

MARY GROVE: Welcome, it's wonderful to have you back.

I think, they were practically no women here.

and I'm not sure the others knew who I was.

but it was nothing compared to what it is now.

Before we get started, I want to cue just a quick video, which

by talking about your roots, and you shared so much

of your personal journey-- you open your book by talking

about your mother's courageous story as a Holocaust survivor,

how she gave birth to you against all odds.

And she said to you, you are my torch of freedom,

and taught you that fear is not an option.

Can you share with us a memory of how your mother helped

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG: Well, first of all,

I think my mother was, what they call today, a tiger mom.

Which is that, if I was afraid of the dark

she would lock me into the closet, which today you

But of course, after 10 minutes, it wasn't dark anymore,

because when you're in the dark for 10 minutes you can see.

And also you realize that there's no reason to be afraid.

So my mother didn't want me to be afraid.

And one of the reasons why she didn't want me to be afraid

At the age of 22, she was a prisoner of war

camp of Auschwitz and Ravensbruck and a third one.

She wasn't supposed to have survived but she did.

She went back home and her mother fed her.

Six months later her fiancee came back to Belgium--

he had been in Switzerland-- and they got married,

and the doctor said you absolutely cannot have a child.

Well, sure enough, I was born nine months later,

And you know when-- well, you are all young

so you know that when your mother is very strong

you protect yourself from all that strength.

you think a little bit more of the impact that she had on me.

And by telling-- by doing research and telling her story,

And I am the way I am because of that, because of what she was.

And so this book, this memoir has been really difficult.

I've never gone to a therapy before, and I did that.

But I really opened myself, and I tell it really

as it is because I think that truth and honesty is certainly

the most useful thing you could do for yourself,

but it's also good to do it, to have others do it.
