Donna was well known with her essential line, she offered seven basic pieces that any one could mix and match it to create several different looks, she used jersey, Lycra and molded fabrics in most of her designs to create an easy perfect fit and a silhouette that wrap and sculpt the body.
She also designed shoes, handbags, hosiery and intimates. The list goes on to include belts, accessories and, as Karan puts it, "Everything you need to pull yourself together."
At 1984 Karan started her new DKNY line to design clothes that suit the fast fashion range and also to dress her daughter gabby.
