Donna Karan Fall Collection: A Modern Twist on Career Dressing
Donna Karan’s fall collection is all about taking career dressing and giving it a fresh new twist. The design team has reimagined classic workwear pieces, adding luxurious textures and modern silhouettes that are perfect for the modern working woman.
One of the standout pieces from the collection is the elegant velvet suits in a rich shade of “chocolate plum” straight from Karan’s own archives. These suits are tailored to perfection, with dramatic shawl lapels and gold Robert Lee Morris-inspired buttons that add a touch of glamour. The collection also features modern body-con iterations made from compact crepe knits, giving a sleek and polished look.
The design team has also taken Karan’s signature brushed jersey fabric and redeveloped it for a new generation. The slim dresses and sweaters in the collection are artfully draped and come with built-in statement belts adorned with abstract gold buckles. The fabric has a luxurious feel and a sophisticated look, perfect for the modern working woman.
But it’s the occasion dressing in this collection that really stands out. Classic body-hugging shapes in luxurious textures like liquid satin, burnout velvets, and sequins make for show-stopping pieces that are perfect for formal events, weddings, or even a senior prom. A gold-foiled velvet suit adds a touch of glamour and sparkle, perfect for a night out on the town.
Rounding out the collection is a selection of handsome outerwear, including a traditional black overcoat with an “ocelot” fur collar and a suede trench coat with an embossed python print. These pieces are designed to be timeless additions to a woman’s wardrobe, just like when Donna Karan herself curated the collection.
With prices ranging from $600 to $800, these pieces are definitely an investment, but they are designed to be wardrobe staples that will stand the test of time. The collection embodies the sophisticated and modern aesthetic that Donna Karan is known for, making it a must-have for the modern working woman.
