The Daughter of a fashion model and a haberdasher, Donna Karan was immersed in fashion from childhood. She attended Parsons School of Design, but after her second year took a summer job with Anne Klein and never returned. When Anne Klein became ill, Karan became head designer. In 1984 she was given her own firm by Takihyo Corporation of Japan, Anne Klein's parent company. Her hallmark has always been wearability - classic sportswear looks with a stylish edge, and an element of tough chic. Karan's first collection under her own label established her immediately as a new fashion star. Some of her current lines include the Donna Karan collection, DKNY Watches and DKNY Tech.
