Last Thursday night at her store in New York’s Meatpacking District, the fashionista had this to say:
“Everyone here better be a Democrat; no Republicans!”
Diane just said " This is not a republican party, just so you know !!! #DVF fno

#DVF: "This is a non-republican audience!!!" Crowd: "Cheers, Screams" http://t.co/AGoOz1mQ

She apparently then left to go watch President Obama’s snoozer of a DNC speech.
Great #FNO Miss DVF said there are no Republicans in this crowd! She said I'm going to watch my president at http://t.co/EZQGeQIF

How gauche.
Poor Diane must’ve sewed her brain shut by mistake. Despite what the lapdog media and well-known Julias would have people believe, conservative and Republican women do exist, and they have a voice. Conservative women (and the men who love them) are using their voices now to hit back at Von Fürstenburg:
@GOPfashionista @dvf You got it, sister! My evil corporate Republican money can line the pockets of a non-intolerant designer instead!

@GOPfashionista @DVF that's a wrap! I will donate my dresses to charity & not buy again. I'm not thinking she had 2 many lib customers.

It makes me sad when a designer I admire (and buy from!) insults her customers in such a stupid way. http://t.co/cnK6AmXC
— Samantha Sault (@SamanthaSault) September 8, 2012
It eventually occurred to Von Fürstenburg that her remarks may have wound up alienating half of her customer base, and she tried to walk back her statement:
I love and respect all Americans…Democrats and Republicans…love Diane
— DVF – Diane von Furstenberg (@DVF) September 9, 2012
Too little, too late. We’re not buying what she’s selling. She’d better get used to that.
