On Our Radar: Donna Karan Icons Collection

FabSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 05:03:33 -0700

American designer Donna Karan's latest collection, Donna Karan Icons, due in upscale and specialty stores this Summer, is all about effortless dressing and day-to-evening essentials. Donna wants her loyal customers to rely on her simple silhouettes like they rely on their jeans and tees - I don't know how realistic that is considering all the pieces are black and formal, but if you think you can do it, more power to you! The prices range from $595 to $2,995, and include wool jersey neck-wrap dresses, organza-lined taffeta trenchcoats, stretch crepe wool blazers and trousers and wool pencil pants.

Hear Donna speak about Icons!

The Donna Dish: "If You Can't Sleep in It, Forget It"

FabSugar — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:50:22 -0700

The Donna Karan wisdom continues. After listening to her and Ken Downing at the Neiman Marcus event in San Francisco, I have a newfound interest in draping and defining luxury. Donna also mentioned Michelle Obama ("Michelle Obama is an icon") and emphasized the importance of jewelry when she spoke of her years collaborating with Robert Lee Morris: "Jewelry is important. Accessories are extremely important." Oh, and my favorite Donna quote? "Glamour - I forgot the word glamour!" Here's more Donna dish:

Donna on draping: She always makes her skirts wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. "Draping is how fabric wraps around your body and accents the positive and hides the negative."

Donna defines luxury: There is a difference between seeing something and wearing it, and to her, wearing is luxury. It's the difference of seeing and touching. This year was the most challenging year. It's important to not deny it and have consciousness about it. "I feel luxury is how we care for ourselves and other human beings."

To hear the rest, read more.

Donna on everyday dressing: "Do you have any idea how many outfits you can create from the same pieces?" Investment dressing doesn't go out of style. She loves it when she sees women wearing her older clothes today.
Donna and her fabrics: "Most of my fabrics are made in Italy with extraordinary technology." A cashmere knits collection is coming out soon; it's based on comfort and ease and includes all sorts of neutral colors.
