Donna Karan is one of the most famous individual designers in the world, and has won a record number of American design awards including the prestigious Coty American Fashion Critics Award 4 times, and the CFDA Designer of the year award 4 times as well. These awards have been given to her because of the revolutionary approach she has brought to design, and the passion that she has brought to the fashion industry.
Donna Karan of New York and her main brand DKNY have become a global sensation, producing everything from designer wrist watches through to T-shirts, as well as a large range of high fashion items that are designed for the celebrities who make up a large portion of the Donna Karan market thanks to her stunningly beautiful designs.
One of the most important parts of the Donna Karan label is now its perfume line. Ever since her first fragrance was released in 1992, the signature scent Donna Karan Eau de Parfum became an instant hit amongst people who wanted to experience the quality of the Donna Karan fragrance, and became one of the biggest selling perfumes of the year.
This was followed by another two fragrances in 1994, including her first male perfume - DK Men, and a new perfume for women in the shape of Donna Karan Cashmere.
A new version of DK Men (Unleaded) brought the cologne to a new market in 1996, and then in 2000, the brand literally exploded worldwide when the best selling DKNY perfume was released, and became an instant global hit.
Donna Karan’s husband Stephen Weiss died of cancer in 2001 and the designer threw herself into her work like never before. She entered new markets with aggression, and the label quickly became one of the largest luxury brands in the world, producing everything from jeans through to sports wear.
In 2003, when she was at the peak of her ability as a designer, and the peak of her popularity, Donna Karan was interviewed and asked what it was that made her clothes so popular. Her answer? That she designed what she felt was missing from her own wardrobe. Women all over the world took notice, and flocked to DKNY boutiques and found exactly what they were looking for.
