Assignment 2.2: New York Fashion Week: Donna Karan: History of 20th Century Fashion Arts, OL1 GS613, Sept. 17, 2009, Burnstine



Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week showcased many talented designers this fall. I was inspired by the edgy looks by BCBGMaxazria, the striking colors and intricate prints used by AAU fashion student Sawanya Jomthepmala, and in particular, I was stirred by Donna Karan's Spring 2010 Collection.
Donna Karan's collection featured dresses and suits tailored to enhance any female figure. Her use of drapery transformed each garment into a sheath of femininity, while her use of textiles, such as linen, twill and stretch matte jersey gave the line a soft easy-to-wear sensuality complimented by a color palette of peach, white and grey. The collection was spiced up with a few pieces in a bold red, adding a needed contrast to the delicate dresses and sheaths which were the focus.
