Renowned Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has once again put her mark on the global stage with an Emmy nomination for her latest work, “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge.” This powerful documentary has been nominated at the 46th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards in the category of Outstanding Business and Economic Documentary.

Co-directed by Trish Dalton, the film explores the life and legacy of fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg—a woman who redefined femininity, power, and independence. From launching the legendary wrap dress in 1974 to becoming a symbol of freedom for women everywhere, Diane’s journey is both inspiring and deeply human.

Produced by Sutter Road Picture Company and Fabiola Beracasa Beckman Media Production, the documentary made a grand debut as the opening night film at the 2024 Tribeca Festival and later premiered on Hulu to wide critical acclaim. It has already won the Cinema for Peace Dove Award for Women’s Empowerment, and this Emmy nomination further solidifies its impact.

With 13 previous Emmy nominations and 5 wins, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy continues to be a trailblazer in documentary filmmaking. What makes this nomination even more special is that the documentary was crafted by an all-female crew—highlighting not only Diane’s story but also the powerful women behind the lens.

“Diane’s story is one of unyielding courage and creative rebellion. This nomination honors every woman who challenges the status quo,” said Obaid-Chinoy.

As the Emmy Awards ceremony approaches in Fall 2025, fans and followers eagerly await what could be another historic win for Obaid-Chinoy—an artist whose voice continues to uplift stories that matter.
