Fashion designers Diane von Furstenberg and the late Liz Claiborne are both being honored for their contribution to the world of fashion by being honored with their own spots on the Fashion Walk of Fame on Seventh Avenue.

Upon receiving the award, Von Furstenberg said, "A little bit over three decades ago, I came to New York with a few little dresses I had made in a tiny suitcase and a child in my belly. I was terrified of Seventh Avenue."

"It's an honor to get this from the very neighborhood that intimidated me so much."

Claiborne's widower, Art Orenberg accepted her award on her behalf.
