Donna Karan

Donna Karan is a well-known fashion designer.  Her parents, who also worked in the fashion industry, greatly influenced her from an early age. After working for Ann Klein for more than a decade, she and her husband, along with Takhyo Corporation, created a label: "Donna Karan New York." They released its first women's collection in the mid 1980's.

In 1988, Donna Karan extended her empire by creating a more affordable line named DKNY.  DKNY originally catered to younger women, but eventually, it offered items for men and kids as well.   After much anticipated success of her brands, however, Donna Karan decided to resign as the company's CEO.  It wasn't too long afterwards that Moet Henessey Louis Vuitton showed interest in the company and bought the entire Gabrielle Studio, which owned the two major lines in 2001. Despite the change in ownership, Donna Karan is still the acting chairwoman and chief designer of Donna Karan New York even today. DKNY, on the other hand, is now being handled by her longtime friend and colleague, Jane Chung.

Aside from clothes, Donna Karan has produced other products like bedsheets, towels and accessories that include eyewear, bags, shoes, perfumes, hosiery and intimates.  The company’s innovative style paved the way for a whole new lifestyle for the modern woman. Donna Karan has been hailed as a designer who truly understands the woman's body.  That’s why there it’s no surprise that the world's most elite women want to wear her creations.
