Donna Karan: New York

By Ingrid Sischy

Book Overview

The most prominent and successful designer in American fashion, Donna Karan's popularity is due to her philosophy of designing real clothes for real women, as easily worn in normal life as on the catwalk. Her creations, such as the "body" slipped naturally into the chic, modern wardrobes of New York women before becoming known internationally. Ingrid Sischy co-curated the "Visitors" exhibition at the 1996 Florence Biennial, which included Donna Karan.

Donna Karan: America's #1 Fashion Designer

I would highly recommend this book for Donna Karan fans. The interview portion of the book is excellent - Donna tells how she revolutionized the fashion world by designing clothes for REAL women with REAL figures, not runway models. As a male, I appreciated it greatly when she branched out into menswear in the early 90's. I have a number of DKNY and Donna Karan New York Jackets, Shirts, Jeans, Sweaters, Vests, Athletic Gear, etc. and now I have a great coffee table book on Donna, America's #1 Fashion Designer!
