Label Text:This Donna Karan ensemble, features a matching denim skirt and body suit. Karan first made a name for herself with her “seven easy pieces” collection in 1985, which was designed to give the working woman a fully coordinated wardrobe of (primarily black) separates that she could mix and match to wear through the work week. These denim styles could have been integrated into a coordinated Karan wardrobe to offer further options.
