SHE IS A EUROPEAN ÉMIGRÉ, fashion icon, mother of the wrap dress, and godmother of the Statue of Liberty. A global philanthropist, DVF can often be found swimming for hours alongside her beloved luxury sailboat in the Mediterranean, contemplating which young female entrepreneur has made the greatest impact in sub-Saharan Africa or how to celebrate her beloved Barry’s next birthday.
He was California born and bred, a media mogul who started in the legendary William Morris mailroom. Feared by competitors, idolized by loyalists, respected by everyone from social media billionaires to legacy media titans, “Killer Diller” is lovingly and ironically grounded by his wife, whom he married 27 years after becoming best friends.

One thing they agree on: this is a couple that was meant to be.
