Brand story and character

Donna Karan launched her first collection in 1984 after working at Anne Klein, creating a clear system of clothes for real life. Practicality, femininity, and urban composure became parts of one idea rather than opposites.

Seven Easy Pieces established a reputation for an intelligent, easily combined wardrobe that moved from day into evening. DKNY later brought the same New York outlook to a younger and more accessible line.

G-III Apparel Group acquired Donna Karan in 2016 and relaunched it in spring 2024. Clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, jewellery, and home categories now support a more structured commercial architecture.

Fragrance continues the fashion code through Cashmere Mist, Cashmere Collection, and a history beginning in 1992. DKNY Be Delicious, Golden Delicious, and 24/7 extend the range from intimate softness to fresher urban energy.

Donna Karan remains recognisable without emphatic symbols. Clothes help the wearer live, while scent supports the same image through New York practicality, elegance, and a close-to-the-body presence.
