Donna Karan: Pleated Night in New York (photo)

Her brand is rooted in New York's unique life style. Her design inspiration also stems from New York's unique urban atmosphere, modern rhythm and vibrant New York City. Her brand appeals to the modern city lifestyle represented by New York City and is one of the most successful ready-to-wear brands.

Donna Karan's love of black is reflected in her design philosophy of pursuing comfort and texture. From black sweaters and black dresses to black tea sets, and a pair of ebony chopsticks used for decoration, her color tendency can be seen.
