The Shows
Another Fashion Week over… whew! I’ve just arrived in LA to dress Barbra for the Oscars, but before I get wrapped up in the celebratory awards season, I wanted to take a moment to tell you about how I’m feeling about my shows.
For me, the Donna Karan collection was about individuality, freedom and endless possibility: three words that embody the theme of my life in this moment. It was personal.
I loved the way this season came together; from look number one through the end of the show, we highlighted women of power. I wanted to convey the evolution of a signature style - a collection that has a life longer than a season.
I absolutely loved the energy of the DKNY show: the color, the set, the video, the music were all vibrant and dynamic. I thought the girls beautifully walked that fine line between youth and sophistication, which was perfect. It was fashion meeting real life and love, love, Ioved it.
DKNY is always a little more familial. I started DKNY to address the growing needs of my own family and the collection continues to draw on my maternal instincts: every season feels like I am watching my child take another step forward. I’m very proud of where DKNY is today.
I feel great about both collections and am thrilled to be taking some time in LA, basking in sunshine, spending time with Barbra and gearing up for the Oscars. Stay tuned!
All my love,
Don’t miss the show at 2pm today on DonnaKaran.com

ART OF ILLUSION
My favorite evening looks always strategically reveal and conceal, flashing just enough skin to seduce, but with enough coverage so you don’t feel exposed. This strapless envelope dress is made in Italian doubleknit felt jersey which holds you securely, yet has a tulle inset on the leg for a peek of veiled skin. Sequins cascade down from the top and onto the inset for that touch of evening sizzle to catch the light.
