SHORT TAKES : Fast Times for Von Furstenburg
- Share via
BREWSTER, N.Y. — Diane von Furstenburg was clocked driving her 1991 Jaguar 77 m.p.h. in a 55 m.p.h. zone, and when police checked the fashion designer’s license, they found it had been suspended nine years ago.
As a result, the 44-year-old Von Furstenburg of New Milford, Conn., has a date in Putnam County court next week to answer charges of speeding and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
State Police Trooper Jennifer Lindner, who arrested Von Furstenburg on Monday, described her as “very cordial and pleasant.”
The Belgian-born designer even signed autographs at the barracks while getting together $60 for bail, Lindner said.
