The founder of Tankner.

After being fired, I prefer to eat "returning grass"

Donna Karan is definitely a talented girl. Fortunately, she was not buried. However, this is not fate, everything depends on Karen herself. Just like her colorful life, everything is under control. At the age of 26, Karen had become the chief designer of Anne Klein, and Anne Klein fired her.

Karen grew up in the fashion circle in new york. Her biological father was a tailor and died in a car accident when she was three years old. Karen's mother later remarried to a wealthy clothing dealer. /kloc-When she was 0/4 years old, Karen lied about her age and got a job as a salesgirl in a clothing store. Since then, she has formed an indissoluble bond with fashion.

When she was in high school, Karen became a part-time fashion model because of her impressive figure and dreamed of becoming a fashion designer one day. After graduating from high school, Karen entered the famous Parsons Fashion Design Institute in new york to study design. In her sophomore year, Karen got a job as a designer and painter in Anne Klein. Anne Klein, the owner of Anne Klein, was one of the earliest designers who advocated casual wear in the United States, and enjoyed a high reputation in the United States at that time. Out of enthusiasm for work, Karen dropped out of school and went to work full-time for Anne Klein. However, eight months later, she was fired, allegedly because she was "immature".

Immediately after leaving Anne Klein, Karen found a job in another clothing company. In the following year and a half, Karen gradually matured and emerged. When Karen wanted to leave that company, many fashion companies invited her, but she refused. Karen dialed the telephone of Anne Klein directly and asked to go back to Anne Klein. This time, Karen finally got Klein's approval and went back to be her assistant again.

1974 in March, Anne Klein died, and Anne Klein's board of directors formally appointed Donna Karan, who was only 26 years old at that time, as Anne Klein's successor. Karen took over the duties of chief designer as the designated heir. Although only 26 years old, Karen has 12 years of experience and perseverance in the clothing industry. After a long period of devotion, when the music of her first personal press conference started, Karen couldn't help feeling deeply behind the scenes about everything that had come and would come, even hiding her face and crying. The whole press conference lasted for 40 minutes, and she clearly knew that she would be a blockbuster.

Africa is a dream and new york is the destination.

From the moment he set foot in Africa, Donna Karan's heart began to wander. For the first time in her life, she felt that she no longer missed new york and didn't want to go back to that bustling city. Imagine what would happen if the design of a season was messed up and the sky was falling? Even hippos in Africa seem to be happier than Americans.

Donna Karan spent three weeks in Botswana and Kenya, spending all day with zebras, elephants, hippos, deserts and Masai people. Masai, who live by nomadic hunting, still live a primitive life. They don't wear clothes and pull stones to make a fire. The only thing that has something to do with modern society is to live in a simple mud house now. They have no needs, no desires, and don't even know their age. They live in groups, and their thoughts are only survival, mutual assistance and giving. But they are happy, a simple happiness. Karen knew that she could never have that kind of happiness, and so did people in new york.

The plane crossed the vast Pacific Ocean, and Karen returned to her home in East Hampton. Sitting in the projection room, she looked at the slides composed of 4000 photos she took in Africa, recalling the beauty and simplicity of that distant continent. There is a big stack of Karen's favorite women's daily newspaper in the living room, waiting for her to savor it. Karen suddenly found that she had returned to reality from a dream, and this was her home. After all, new york is where she grew up for 55 years.

Maybe you don't know Donna Karan, but at least you've heard of DKNY, a sunrise brand that was most sought after by the younger generation at the end of last century. These two fashion brands that affect American life are both from donna karan, a very affectionate American woman. She, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren are also called "the three great American designers".

In 20001year, Donna Karan sold her high-end women's clothing brand Donna Karan to Louis Vuitton-Louis Vuitton Group for $643 million. Karen's beloved husband and long-term business partner Stephen Weiss died in the same year after years of fighting lung cancer.

Nowadays, Donna Callan spends more time enjoying life at home or embarking on a journey to find novelty and excitement. In addition to practicing yoga in meditation, I usually take my granddaughter for beauty and shaping, eat coarse grains and vegetarian food, and live a healthy and fulfilling life. Of course, as the chief designer of Donna Karan, she is still involved in fashion design.

Tall, with sparkling green eyes, 55 is just an age tag for Donna Karan. She said she couldn't bear loneliness, so she found herself a model boyfriend. What should be lost will eventually be lost, and life will continue and become more and more beautiful.

A shrewd and ambitious woman

Karen likes to smoke unfiltered Bellevue cigarettes best. When Anne Klein is in the mood, she often takes off her clothes and tries on new model clothes in public.

Everyone who knows Donna Karan thinks she is a "smart and ambitious woman", but no one hates her for it. On the contrary, all the people who worked with Karen were moved by her directness, sincerity and frankness.

1984, Karen left Anne Klein to set up her own company and a fashion brand named Donna Karan. Donna Karan aims at mature, noble, sexy and confident urban women, and introduces comfortable, high-end women's clothes that can perfectly express the curvaceous beauty of women. After entering the market, it was immediately praised crazily. Karen began to formally establish herself as the "Queen of American Fashion".

In the mid-to-late 1980s, everything about Donna Karan became the talk of Americans after dinner: she was a tireless workaholic, passionate about charity, emotional and easily excited, and did not hesitate to evaluate herself when interviewed.

Karen's attention to the details of clothes is almost obsessive. At the exhibition, Karen will carefully study every piece of cloth she is interested in and sit in front of the booth and stare at the cloth for twenty or thirty minutes. Karen is not good at drawing design drawings, but she can convey her design intention to her assistant very clearly and accurately. At this point, Karen is quite like miuccia prada, an Italian female designer.

Karen has a close relationship with her subordinates, and many people have followed her for many years. Three years ago, when LVHM bought Donna Karan, Karen wrote in black and white in the contract: LVHM shall not fire any of her followers without her consent.

DKNY continued to write about new york complex.

Karen was born in Long Island, new york. She has a special feeling for this international metropolis. She loves the city and pays special attention to the lives of people around her, whether it is pedestrians on the street, white-collar workers in the office or friends around her. Caring about their mentality, their lifestyle and pace of life, no matter where they look, will be the source of inspiration for her design.

Black is always the main color of Donna Karan. Donna Karan's love for black is reflected in her design concept of pursuing comfort and paying attention to texture. From black tights, black sweaters, black dresses, long skirts to black tea sets, we can see her strong color tendency. Black combines her understanding and perception of fast-paced urban life, and also coincides with her original intention of creating a world-class fashion that is unpretentious and elegant.

Just after Donna Karan rushed out of new york, conquered the United States and entered the world market, Donna Karan launched its own second-line brand, Donna Karan new york, or DKNY for short. DKNY can be said to be the most sought after sunrise brand by the younger generation at the end of the century, and its reputation even surpassed its authentic Donna Karan. DKNY was actually created by Donna Karan for her soon-to-mature daughter Gaby, and was officially launched on 1988.

Influenced by Gaby's lifestyle, donna karan integrated new york's spirit of independence and freedom into DKNY's design, and gradually evolved into a young representative of cosmopolitan style in fashion. DKNY aims to meet the work and life needs of the public. Clothing is unique in color, style and structural proportion, especially suitable for young people.

The heavy DKNY trademark not only appears on the cloth label, but also is often regarded as a pattern on clothes, just like a symbol of spirit.

Whether it's love or marriage.

Karen has been married twice, and now her boyfriend is a male model who is almost 20 years younger than herself. If you judge her as a "slut", you are wrong. Karen is the kind of woman who can give everything for the person she loves deeply, and she did it.

1983 Karen married the sculptor Steven Weiss. Prior to this, Karen had a short marriage with her first boyfriend, mark cullen, and gave birth to her only daughter, Gaby. Karen's daughter Gaby has now grown up and married an Alitalia pilot. They have a lovely toddler daughter. Karen often gets together with her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, and the family is happy.

Karen said that she had loved two men in her life, "either falling in love or getting married". She can't stand no one to accompany her, and no one cares about her life. So now she has found herself a new boyfriend.

Karen's beloved husband Weiss has been fighting lung cancer for seven years and has undergone three major operations because of his illness. As Wes lay dying, Karen tried every means to realize his dream for her husband. Besides sculpture, Weiss also loves racing and collecting art. Karen first gave Weiss a Ducati (Italian racing car), then a Lamborghini, and even found the works of Francis Bacon, Weiss' most admired artist. In memory of Weiss, Karen successfully lobbied the government to put one of Weiss' works, a three-ton apple, on the highway in the west. She also plans to turn Weiss's10,000-square-foot studio on Greenwich Street into an exhibition center.

Karen worships an Indian Buddhist god in the yoga studio, with a black and white photo of Weiss hanging next to her. Karen believes in karma, and the cycle of life and death is like a black-and-white conversion. Karen's husband Weiss, Karen's mother and former boss Anne Klein died on the same day Karen released her new clothes.

Karen started practicing yoga at the age of 18, and now she is an advanced yogi. She believes that yoga can relax the body and mind, and also give people insight into the future. Karen now spends at least a few hours practicing hard every day. Demi moore and Moore's little boyfriend ashton kutcher are her yoga partners.

Karen, 55, now pays great attention to healthy living. She now eats coarse grains and vegetarian food regularly and quantitatively, and must have vegetable juice prepared by servants in the car when traveling. Every time before she comes in, the servant lights candles and puts on soft music, so coming home is like being in a carefree paradise. At her home in East Hampton, Karen's yoga studio is connected to a huge bathroom. The whole bathroom is made of limestone in Jerusalem, with a deep and large jacuzzi and massage slate.

In addition to her property in East Hampton, Karen also owns a 7,000-square-foot luxury apartment in West Central Park, which is dominated by Karen's favorite black color and equipped with a yoga studio. Karen's two houses in spring are dominated by thick or light yellowish brown, and the design style is unpretentious. In addition, Karen also owns properties in Nautilus Island, Turkey and Caicos Islands in Latin America.

Holidays around the world are an important part of Donna Karan's current life. After coming back from Africa, Karen immediately wants to go to Big Sur in San Francisco, or visit barbra streisand in Los Angeles, or go to Sun Island to find old friends ... Now, Karen is planning a winter vacation. This time, she hopes that the main content of the holiday will be skiing and yoga. A few years ago, Karen went skiing in Sun Island by helicopter, and John Kerry, the current presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of the United States, was among the peers. Karen and her party were trapped in the mountains for several hours because of the skiing accident. She also hurt her knee badly and was rescued by helicopter.

However, in recent months, there have been rumors that LVHM intends to sell Donna Karan, and Karen's position as chief designer may be lost. But Karen responded positively that she would never leave the fashion design industry, and she was "addicted" to fashion.

In fact, Karen has many other dreams besides designing fashion. She is also interested in photography and writing, but she wants to open a yoga fitness rehabilitation center most, hoping to make it a high-end place that can fully reflect her own style, including meaning, creativity and culture. There is no doubt that what Karen wants to do will succeed.
