Donna Karan, the daughter of a tailor, designed clothes when she was a teenager. She also studied at New York's Parsons School of Design. In 1967 she began working for the Anne Klein women’s wear house and became its chief designer. In 1985 Karan launched her first collection under her own name and five years later added a ready-to-wear line, DKNY. She became known for comfortable yet elegant apparel made particularly for professional women. DKNY logo is engraved on both temples.
