5 pieces from Donna Karan's summer collection that prove white is all you need in your wardrobe this season
Donna Karan's eponymous brand was born in the most multicultural, fast-paced, eccentric, and diverse fashion hubs in the world - the Big Apple. A perfect ethos to encourage the growth of industries like fashion, New York welcomes the weird in the normal with open arms. Evidently, backed by this crazy setting Donna Karan New York or DKNY's strong foundation defined the label for decades to come.
The brand grew out of Karan's vision that clothes were meant to be worn for just having fun rather than the pretentiousness that emanates from brands particularly involved in designing professional clothes for women. To her contemporary fashion is something that stands out, that you can't find anywhere else. So her signature encompasses the classics that sport layers, romantic folds of velvet and silk, blanket collars and so much more because she wants her designs to look soft and free-form with a minimal twist to the fabric.
