Rediscovering Donna Karan’s Timeless Style
When one thinks of classic Donna Karan style, images of sleek black, white, and neutral-toned pieces often come to mind. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is the designer’s love for vibrant red. This season, Donna Karan’s design team has brought back this bold color in a modern way, reimagining it as a rich dark cherry shade. Reminiscent of Clinique’s popular tinted lip balm “black honey,” Donna’s version, dubbed “black cherry,” takes center stage in the collection.
The collection features a range of monochrome looks in shades of black cherry, espresso brown, camel, and classic black. Each piece is designed with versatility in mind, allowing for easy mixing and matching. The focus is on letting the different textures speak for themselves, creating a harmonious and cohesive collection.
Familiar staples from previous collections make a return, such as the faux fur gilet, which is now paired with a bias-cut dress for a chic and sophisticated look. Gold accents are a recurring theme throughout the collection, adding a touch of luxury to each piece.
Comfort is a key factor for Donna Karan, both in terms of silhouette and price point. With no piece exceeding $800, the brand offers accessible luxury for everyday wear. From a slim-cut stretch velvet suit for the weekdays to lightweight and airy pieces for the weekend, Donna Karan has something for every occasion.
