Donna Karan
NEW YORK, February 16, 2001

Donna Karan is famous for her consistently feminine, wearable clothing that speaks to the great diversity of women.This season, Karan explored less conventional avenues with a richly textured and layered collection that could best be described as savage luxe. Relying on a relentlessly monochromatic palette, Karan sent out ravaged chiffon skirts, wide-gauge knit sweaters, tribal-inspired patchwork shearling coats, spider-web crochet overlays and severely distressed slips. Evening maintained the raw-edged motif, with gilded dresses that could've been dug out of a centuries-old treasure chest.
Those who are not adventurous enough to indulge in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max makeover will turn to Karan's take on the current equestrian theme, which included khaki cavalry jackets and wrapped riding trousers, as well as aged-leather storm coats.
