New York Fashion Week 2009 : Donna Karan

2009 New Fashion Donna Karan: Fashion Designer
Donna Karan made her name by revolutionizing the working woman’s wardrobe, starting with her famous “Seven Easy Pieces” 1985 collection that proved it was possible to be simultaneously comfortable, professional, and feminine. In recent years, influenced by her late husband, the artist Stephan Weiss, and her own explorations of yoga and spirituality, she’s softened that look. What unifies Karan’s designs is the sensuality of fabric—she loves tissue-weight leathers, gossamer silks, and the softest cashmeres (one of her fragrances is Cashmere Mist)—and her own personal understanding of what parts of a woman’s body she’d like to have highlighted.
