Michael Herz - the former creative director and fashion curator of Bally Switzerland - has been appointed as the artistic director of Diane von Furstenberg.

This brand new position within DVF will see Herz having creative oversight of not only the promotion of the brand, but also the design and direction. This will extend to the creative control of brand campaigns, advertising, store design, and all ready-to-wear and accessories.

Diane von Furstenberg has commented, “As the company continues to grow — and we continue to expand our product categories — it is so important to have someone next to me who will ensure that all products with the DVF name remain true to our brand."
