DKNY, the secondary label of fashion designer Donna Karan, is as tied to New York City in the American mind as "I ♥ NY" t-shirts and rude cabbies. Launched in 1988 to bring young women into Karan's fold, DKNY includes pureDKNY: a line of environmentally responsible men’s and women’s clothing, perfume, and home accessories. pureDKNY’s menswear collection features warm wool sweater blazers, sharp long-sleeve dress shirts in cotton plaid or solid chambray, army green jackets and hoodies, and other timeless classics. The label’s subtle, understated designs reiterate their organic, natural-fabric construction. Though Karan sold her original collection and DKNY to LVMH Moët Hennessy in 1996, she’s remained active in both brands as a designer — winning the CFDA’s Lifetime Achievement Award and cementing her place in the pantheon of American fashion.
