New York is the heart and soul of DKNY. It’s not just a city or a place to call home, it’s a mindset that drives us to be bold, make a statement, and stay true to ourselves.
Donna Karan is a trailblazer who designs for women, by women. Her collections are tailored to the needs of modern women who are confident, forward-thinking, and successful in all aspects of life. In 1984, she launched Seven Easy Pieces, a collection that revolutionized women’s fashion by offering versatile and easy-to-wear garments that could be mixed and matched to create endless outfit options. Donna’s designs simplify life without sacrificing elegance or sensuality.
As Donna’s life evolved, so did her designs. When her teenage daughter started raiding her closet, she realized the need for a new generation of New Yorkers. And thus, DKNY was born.
