| Introduction
The Daughter of a fashion model
and a haberdasher, Donna Karan was steeped in fashion from childhood. She attended
Parsons School of Design, after her second year took a summer job with Anne Klein,
and never returned to school. She was made associate designer in 1971. When Anne
Klein became ill, Karan became head designer. In 1984, Karan was given her own
firm by Takihyo Corporation of Japan, Anne Klein's parent company. Her hallmark
has always been wearability - classic sportswear looks with a stylish edge, and
an element of tough chic. Karan's first collection under her own label established
her immediately as a new fashion star. Some of her current lines include the Donna
Karan collection, DKNY Watches and DKNY Tech. We are happy to feature her watch
collection here at orolus. |
