Glamour, comfort and style are three words that define Donna Karan New York, otherwise known as DKNY. The brand was started by fashion designer Donna Karan, in collaboration with her late husband, Stephen Weiss. Karan attributes her inspiration to her “muse,†her daughter Gabby. DKNY was first released in London in 1997, followed by a flagship store in New York in 1999. To date, the brand has 70 stores around the world, each store carrying the excellence and quality the brand has come to exemplify.

Over the years, DKNY has branched out; DKNY Jeans specializes in all things denim and produces creations that look chic and classy while keeping up with the changing trends in fashion and casual wear.  DKNY perfume is another famous branch of the brand, and the DKNY Be Delicious scent is probably the most popular fragrance they offer. Be Delicious comes in apple-shaped bottles, which have become a trademark of the brand.

The brand has also made a successful foray into the watch industry. DKNY watches are best known for their innovative designs that combine style, quality and timeless elegance. Over the years, Donna Karan has also expanded her label into areas such as home and bedding (with DKNY Home), and beauty, cosmetic and skincare products offered by DKNY Beauty. Inspired by her husband, Karan started a line for men, DKNY Men, in 1992. With the pairing of classy taste and sensual appeal, and the combination of elegance and practicality, DKNY is a brand that is moving up the rungs of the fashion ladder.
