Diane von Furstenberg has taken her Wonder Woman inspired collection one step further with the creation of her own comic book called, Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be, Featuring the Adventures of Diva, Viva & Fifa.

In her self-authored DC comic, Diane narrates tales of herself and other women - all wearing fabulous DvF clothing - in empowering situations. “I am Diva, Viva and Fifa altogether, I am DvF. It’s not so much that I identify with each of them, though. The idea is that if you feel insecure, look at yourself in the mirror, and through the reflection remember to be the Wonder Woman you can be. That’s my message.” said the designer .

Situations include a stage shy Viva turned rocker songstress to Fifa, mother of three turned Gourmet Cooking award winner. Want to hear more adventures from Diva, Viva, and Fifa? The $25 comic, available at DvF boutiques and DVF.com, will debut with her holiday collection. Proceeds from the comic books will benefit, Vital Voices, an organization that helps to empower women.
