NEW YORK, September 19, 2000

Donna Karan presented her secondary line at the Dia Center for the Arts, ushering groups of guests into the gallery space where models took to the catwalk every half-hour or so in what amounted to a revolving party.Men's suiting was an important influence, as Karan showed oversize pinstripe blazers, stark masculine chemises, a billowy tan trench, and basic suits livened up with matte copper paillette tops.
A disheveled tulle skirt was paired with a strapless leather bustier—an unavoidable nod to the '80s. Young girls will love the shimmering hot pants and powder-blue beaded minidresses; the older crowd will stick with true-and-tried basics. Most of Karan's looks featured wide leather belts worn at the hip—a look that is already emerging as one of the key trends for the season.
