Diane von Furstenberg has teamed up with San Francisco-based online education platform MasterClass to offer her first ever online course in fashion branding.

The course is the first time von Furstenberg has taught online. Topics covered include testing product, distinguishing and differentiating a brand, building a team, and how to make a name for oneself in the fashion industry.

In her signature easy and empowered style, von Furstenberg explained, "It is a class about building a fashion brand but it is also about designing your life."

The creator of the iconic wrap dress will focus on finding inspiration, overcoming failure and gaining confidence.

MasterClass was founded in San Francisco in 2015 with the goal of bringing easily accessible education to the masses. Each class offered is available for a flat fee of $90. Classes are taught by thought leaders and icons in respective industries and include video and interactive components.

"Diane is an amazing teacher and mentor. She not only teaches how to design and build a fashion brand, but she shares business and life lessons that apply to everyone," said David Rogier, MasterClass CEO and Co-Founder.

The course is available for preregistration today and will become readily available for more enrollment later this summer. In addition to von Furstenberg's upcoming fashion branding course, MasterClass is also going to offer a photography course taught by Annie Leibovitz.
