Donna Karan Spring 2013 is Irresistible.

Donna Karan created a breathtaking collection for this spring season. This was a turn around from the men's wear tailoring for fall. This time the romantic Donna was a real treat with mesmerizing colors cold-dyed to feign nature
Her exquisite pieces in muted hues set the tone. The folded jackets over full skirts, and empire silhouettes, such as the oyster linen and jersey dress and jacket that opened the show were some examples. It was all beautiful as everything else that followed.

Karan played with volume via construction. A gorgeous transparent georgette dress almost cascaded down from a stricter jersey bralike top.
Evening was stunning. Karan draped several beautiful dresses. There was a sea foam embroidered and sequined dress that just floated by like an under water creature. All so elegantly rendered.

This collection served to mask Karan's perfect sense of control. So sublime was it that almost every piece was elaborately constructed, draped, tiered and tweaked and gave an overall effect that remained poetically beautiful. Donna Karan still remains a great American designer who really knows how to design for any woman. How can any woman not resist??

Donna Karan Fall 2012 is Irresistably Tailored.

Donna Karan created a magnificent fall collection that is irresistible. It was a collection that was structured, clean, architectural and feminine. She returned to glam this fall creating power dressing that also exuded sexiness and femininity.

Plenty of tailoring was included in addition to many pinstripes. Karan incorporated her signature asymmetric details in the mix - half collars side draping, off kilter slits - and she had the nerve (in a good way) to revive the wide shoulders. Fedoras by Stephen Jones that had a "cubist" asymmetric appeal were the finishing touches to these looks. Evening had some fresh looks, from a full on black beaded jacket and skirt ensemble was quite a show stopper as well as a strapless beaded metal gray dress that just hits the spot. Enjoy this splendor of what is to come this fall and winter by Donna Karan!.

Haiti inspires Donna Karan for Spring/Summer 2012



Donna Karan loves Haiti. She spends a great deal of time there and channels her philanthropic efforts there. For this season she was inspired by Haiti. According to her notes she is constantly inspired by her passions.
Her passions were indeed expressed. The collection had well made clothes that had tribal motifs, some graphic configurations that some had studs outlining them, and some prints. The colors in this collection were muddy and drab in the sense that white, black and mud brown were dominant. There were a citrus green and tangerine dresses for evening that did not do the trick to add some life to the color pallet of the collection. Again, this collection was well made and had the commercial clout, but the colors did not do the trick.
