DKNY (Donna Karan New York) is a young fashion label held by the American designer Donna Karan. Together with her husband Stephen Weiss, she founded the label in 1985 in New York, USA. Karan was born on October 2, 1948 in Forest Hills, Queens, USA. She grew up in Long Island and visited in 1966 the New Yorker artist school “Parsons – The New School For Design”.

A lot of new ideas came from Donna’s husband

Donna Karan worked as head designer and created the characteristic style of DKNY. Her intention was to mix ease and luxurious elements. While she was developing her 1st collection, Donna Karan orientated herself on the requirements of her family. Specially her husband gave her a lot of inspiration and so Donna Karan was able to release her first menswear collection “DKNY Men” in 1992.

The opening of their premier flagship store took place in London in 1997. Two years later the famous shop at 550, 7th Avenue in New York followed. At the moment, there are more than 70 DKNY stores worldwide including affiliates in China (Shanghai and Hong Kong), Canada (Montreal and Toronto) and even Dubai.

Timepieces are an great part of the DKNY collection

The products of the company range from costumes to bags, baby stuff and shades and include nearly all kinds of dresses and accessories. Wrist watches are an important part of the DKNY collection, too. Donna Karan sells several collections for ladies and gentlemen. Few unisex products are offered by DKNY as well.

Designer wristwatches of DKNY are well-known for their interesting price-performance ratio. They are affordable and guarantee also high quality. All the wrist watches are crafted and constructed with excellent materials like real stainless steel, silver, gold or leather. The so called “stainless steel watches” belong to the most famous collection DKNY watches. The watches are as exquisite as their fashion clothes and accessories are.
