Quotes
"Ms. Karan’s wardrobe concept, so apparently simple that it struck some as radical, emulated a kind of dancer’s layering, with bodysuits and semi-opaque tights providing a flexible foundation for draped shirts, jersey sweaters and skirts garnished with a variety of shawls, coats and jackets. The collection was a smash, influential enough to prompt Carrie Donovan, then the fashion editor of The New York Times, to muse, “Sometimes one wonders how executive women dressed before Donna Karan.” — Designer ProfileThe New York Times: Donna Karan
"Ms. Karan’s lush Budapest-to-Venice palette could do a number on you, making you overlook the murkiness of the shapes. You’d like to see, in fact, how someone other than a skinny, long-necked model would pull off a flaring, wide-collared jacket without being engulfed by it." — Cathy Horyn reviewThe New York Times: Donna Karan Speaks Softly, and Not as Precisely as Some (February 10, 2008)
