Born Donna Faske in Forest Hills, NY, in 1948, to a model mother and a haberdasher father, Donna Karan was obsessed with fashion from an early age. After two years at Parsons School of Design, she went to work at Anne Klein, making moderately priced sportswear. In 1971, she became associate designer and, after Klein died in 1974, co-designer with Louis Dell'Olio. Ten years later, and with the support of her husband Steven Weiss, Karan founded Donna Karan New York.Donna Karan is one of the most recognisable names in American fashion today. Donna Karan is famous for inventing "the body", one of the most practical items of clothing to come out of the Eighties. The DKNY Dress went on to become a must have worldwide.
