A modern princess just said yes.
Talita von Furstenberg, the stylish granddaughter of fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, is officially engaged to her long-time partner, Rocco Brignone de Brabant.
After more than six years together, the couple made their relationship official in the most romantic way—by the ocean, no less.
An Oceanfront Proposal With a Heartfelt Touch
Talita shared the big news on Instagram with a sweet message: “Forever!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you so much my heart is bursting.”
Alongside it was a dreamy photo of the couple, locked in an affectionate gaze by the sea, her sparkling ring on full display.
She wore a classic white slip dress and gave followers a sneak peek of the setup—flowers, a glowing backdrop, and unmistakable romance in the air.
Adding to the joy, Diane von Furstenberg herself posted a selfie of the couple beaming with happiness and wrote, “Talita and Rocco are ENGAGED!!! He proposed. She accepted!
Join me in wishing them a happy joyful life together. LOVE is LIFE.”
A Royal Romance Years in the Making
Talita and Rocco have been inseparable for over six years.
They’re not just partners; they’re travel buddies and social media sweethearts, often posting snaps from their globe-trotting adventures.
Rocco comes from a prominent Italian banking family, while Talita’s roots trace back to European nobility.
Her father is Prince Alexander von Furstenberg, and her grandfather was German aristocrat Prince Egon von Fürstenberg.
From California to the Catwalk
Despite her royal background, Talita grew up in laid-back Los Angeles.
She initially went east to study at Georgetown University alongside her cousin Prince Alexios of Greece, but eventually transferred to NYU to focus on fashion business and marketing—clearly carving out her own lane in the fashion world.
She’s remained close with her royal cousin, Princess Olympia of Greece, and their jet-setting lifestyle has taken them all over the globe.
Still, Talita has always been down-to-earth about her title.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, she admitted she avoided using the term “princess” in L.A. because people didn’t understand it and would get overly excited.
Following in Diane’s Fashion Footsteps
Talita isn’t just famous because of her last name.
She’s become a name of her own in fashion, regularly launching clothing collections that reflect a younger, more modern style.
While she values her grandmother’s opinion deeply, she tries to keep her design process separate to preserve her unique vision.
In fact, she joked that Diane doesn’t always love the designs at first glance but comes around once she sees them in action.
In recent years, Talita has stepped up her role within the DVF brand.
As part of a company restructuring, she was named co-chairwoman, working alongside CEO Gabby Hirata.
Her grandmother continues to mentor her and is pouring five decades of fashion knowledge into an archive for the next generation to carry on the DVF legacy.
The Future of DVF Lies in Talita’s Hands
Talita has been candid about the responsibility of potentially leading DVF one day.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said taking over the brand would be a “real honor” but admitted she’s still learning.
She views the label as a timeless brand with extraordinary roots, saying the wrap dress that made it famous is still relevant today.
“I don’t want to take on the role until I feel totally confident,” she said.
“But I’m getting there. That’s what TVF is about—learning and growing into it.”
Life of Luxury and Global Adventures
While building her fashion career, Talita’s social media showcases a luxurious lifestyle that many can only dream of.
From horseback riding on sandy beaches in Hawaii to dancing on mountaintops and posing with breathtaking views, she gives her 218,000 followers a curated glimpse of her world.
Her holidays read like a travel guide—Utah’s Amangiri resort, summers across Europe, trips to Mexico and Japan.
Even during the pandemic, she joined Diane and Barry Diller (the billionaire behind IAC) aboard their $150 million yacht Eos for a getaway to Ibiza.
A Style Icon Born Into High Society
Talita isn’t just about the glitz.
Her presence on the front rows of fashion week, her attendance at the Met Gala, and her natural flair for combining elegance with edge show she’s already become a style icon in her own right.
Much like her mother Alexandra, who ruled the New York social scene in the ’90s, Talita seems poised to inherit both the social and fashion throne.
What’s Next for Talita?
With her engagement to Rocco, her increasing responsibilities at DVF, and her growing influence in fashion circles, Talita’s star is only rising.
Whether she’s leading a global brand or twirling in a designer gown on a faraway island, she’s showing the world that royalty and relatability can go hand in hand.
The future may be filled with elegant gowns and boardroom meetings, but one thing’s for sure—Talita von Furstenberg is ready for her next chapter, and she’s writing it in style.
