If you fancy taking any tips on just how to cope in a recession fashionista-style, then listen well to Diane von Furstenberg's pearls of wisdom.

It's her X-Factor- style self-belief, too. ‘It's more important than ever to have confidence,' she explained to The New York Times. ‘It's like we are on a surfing board in the middle of a tsunami. It just so happens that I'm surfing a good wave now.' Diane, can we join you on that wave please?
