The modern simplicity of this dress is typical of Donna Karan’s work. Karan designs for clients like herself: women with hectic lives who demand functional, yet flattering, clothing. Her creations are versatile, often combining aspects of both sportswear and city styles. After working for over fifteen years at Anne Klein, Karan started her own label in 1985 – to great success.
