Egon von Fürstenberg (''Eduard Egon Peter Paul Giovanni Prinz zu Fürstenberg'', ''Prinz Egon zu Fürstenberg,'' 29 June 1946 – 11 June 2004) was a member of an historically important German aristocratic family (princely house, ''Fürstenhaus Fürstenberg''). He was a socialite and husband of fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, and a Swiss fashion and interior designer in his own right. The von Fürstenbergs had two children, ''Prinz'' ''Alexandre Egon'' (b. 25 January 1970) and ''Prinzessin'' ''Tatiana Desirée'' (b. 16 February 1971), but were divorced in 1972. Fürstenberg went on to author two books on fashion and interior design (''The Power Look,'' 1978, and ''The Power Look at Home: Decorating for Men,'' 1980), and to open an interior design firm. He died at in Rome on 11 June 2004 of liver cancer deriving from an earlier hepatitis C infection, and was survived by his children and both wives. == Family == ''Eduard Egon Peter Paul Giovanni Prinz zu Fürstenberg,'' born 29 June 1946 in Lausanne, Switzerland, was the elder son of Prince Tassilo zu Fürstenberg (1903–1989) and his first wife, Clara Agnelli (born 1920), elder sister of Fiat's chairman, Gianni Agnelli. On his father's side, Egon descends from branches of family that include both Stéphanie de Beauharnais, and the 18th-century English eccentric William Thomas Beckford. After Clara's departure, his father married Texas oil heiress Dr. Cecilie Amelia Hudson, ''née'' Blaffer. Fürstenberg's younger brother is Prince Sebastian zu Fürstenberg, and his sister is socialite and actress and Princess Ira zu Fürstenberg, whose first husband was Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. He is first cousin of Karel Schwarzenberg, a Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. The House of Fürstenberg is an ancient German family which reigned over a small principality within the Holy Roman Empire until mediatized in 1806, henceforth retaining their official princely status until the fall of the German Empire in 1918, and thereafter maintaining aristocratic eminence through continued ownership of vast estates. Although ''zu'' rather than ''von'' is the predicate attached to the family's princely title (denoting that the family retained possession of, not merely past or nominal association with the Fürstenberg family seat), Egon and his sister chose to use the more familiar ''von'' for career purposes. Fürstenberg was married to fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg (see below). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egon von Fürstenberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
