Born Donna Ivy Faske on October 2, 1948, New York, Donna Karan is an American fashion designer and businesswoman. In 1968, as a sophomore at Parson’s School of Design, Karan began her career as fashion designer of Anna Klein fashion house. After the death of Anna Klein in 1974, Karan became the main designer of the House. In 1984, she launched her own business – Donna Karan International Inc. In 1985 Karan invited Robert Lee Morris to create jewelry for her first collection. Thus began a collaboration that lasted over 20 years.
The first DKNY collection was highly acclaimed and commercially successful. In 1986, the New York Times published an article that the collaboration between the two designers led to massive popularity of massive gold jewelry worn with black clothing. In just a few years, her company has grown into the world famous corporation. According to Karan, details and accessories are sometimes more important than outerwear.
Donna Karan jewelry is stylish, modern, made of plastic, metal, and pearls. Her jewelry is brutal gold chains and bottle caps on a bracelet, a necklace made of roughly processed “crumpled” silver metal and a thin openwork brooch on a gold plate.
