Книга: KARAN, DONNA «MY JOURNEY»

MY JOURNEY

Since she introduced her game-changing Seven Easy Pieces fashion collection in 1985 (which allowed working women to trade their manly suits for sensual, comfortable separates), Donna Karan has never lost sight of her life goal: to empower women. In this, her first book, Karan will interweave the journey of her incredible career (from scrappy Anne Klein intern to global lifestyle guru) with her personal ups and downs as a young woman plagued by insecurites, a wife and mother straddling the personal and the professional, a friend to stars such as Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, and Demi Moore, and a spiritual seeker and philanthropist.

Karan, Donna

▪ 1994

      Internationally acclaimed fashion designer Donna Karan captured the spotlight in 1993 both with her mix-and-match clothing in soft fabrics and neutral colours and with the public offering of shares—worth more than $160 million—in her company, Donna Karan Co. The nine-year-old concern was initially bankrolled with a $3 million investment, and its explosive growth provided testament to the popularity of Karan's comfortable line of fashions. Her loyal clientele responded to the simplicity of her predominately black-and-neutral-coloured designs, especially her signature bodysuits, dark tights, sarong-wrap skirts, fitted jackets, and heavy pieces of jewelry.

      Karan was born Donna Faske on Oct. 2, 1948, in Forest Hills, N.Y. Her father was a tailor, and her mother was a model and a showroom sales representative in New York City's garment district. She launched a career in fashion at 14 when she lied about her age to secure a job selling clothes in a boutique. An indifferent high school student, she was accepted into New York's Parsons School of Design on the recommendation of her mother's employer, designer Chester Weinberg. After quitting school in 1968, she began working for sportswear designer Anne Klein, but she was fired after nine months. She married boutique owner Mark Karan during the brief period between her first and a second stint with Klein.

      After Klein died of cancer in 1974, Karan was elevated to chief designer and made responsible for that year's Anne Klein fall collection. In 1975 Karan brought her former classmate Louis Dell'Olio into the company as a designer. The two were awarded the Coty American Fashion Critics Award in 1977 and 1981 and were later inducted into that body's Hall of Fame. The Anne Klein Co. flourished, in large part owing to Karan's marketing of a "bridge" line, a less-expensive designer line, Anne Klein II, which was christened in 1983.

      In 1984 Karan used seed money provided by Tomio Taki, chairman of the American branch of a Japanese textile firm and a major partner in Anne Klein, to launch the Donna Karan Co. Karan and her second husband, sculptor Stephan Weiss, were married in 1983, and the couple served as chief executives of the firm, with Karan acting as chief designer. After the bridge line DKNY debuted in 1988, Karan's company diversified and sold blue jeans, men's wear, and a children's line in addition to accessories, hosiery, and perfume. (CHRISTINE SULLIVAN)
