Donna Karan is never just about the clothes. It’s about the lifestyles. She sees the entire picture from head-to-toe, from function to aesthetic. A modern system of dressing, Karan’s concept is based on seven easy pieces, where a handful of interchangeable items work together to create an entire wardrobe that goes from day to evening, weekday to weekend, season to season. “I’m designing for an international woman. A creative person who never knows where a day is going to take them.” Using her company’s visibility and resources for social causes is a heartfelt priority for Donna Karan. A member of CFDA’s board of directors, Karan conceived as well as spearheaded its “Seventh on Sale” benefits to raise funds for AIDS awareness and education. Karan co-chairs the annual New York “Kids for Kids” events for the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, as well as the yearly “Super Saturday,” a flea market founded with the late Liz Tilberis to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
