That is too funny. I have that same dream and I peruse TravelSmith in vain hope regularly....

She comments about women buying individual items being the way of things, as opposed to buying collections in times of yore. I feel this is sorta true... I really appreciate the way she boiled things down to a body suit, trousers, leggings, dress, scarf... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571318 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 03:14:26 +0000 anne 1571318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did like the bodysuits (though to be sure, they were tricky to do up). Made me feel like a ballerina.<br /> Also we always tucked everything anyway, and they made tucking easier.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571317 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 03:11:42 +0000 Beth Ann 1571317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Fresh Air!&nbsp; Donna Karan has always understood how to make drama and glamour wearable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571249 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 23:38:02 +0000 Anonymous 1571249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't , sadly. I was her iconic wrap skirt, with a collarless. drapey cocoon-ish (if I remember correctly) big-shouldered lined jacket (don't laugh, this was the early 80's) &nbsp;I blew the wad of my saved-up -student cash and bought the most expensive black wool crepe I could find. It was a beautiful suit and I wish I had kept it - although I weighed &nbsp;about 115 lbs at the time and it would be entirely too depressing to see. &nbsp;I'm not very sentimental that way - out of style and doesn't fit? Gone. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571214 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:37:17 +0000 Vicki 1571214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember those, with their shoulders that went on for days! &nbsp;Lisa, do you still have your tailoring project? &nbsp;Maybe, well see it? &nbsp;hint-hint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571210 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:29:48 +0000 unfrumped 1571210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard part of this interview also and really enjoyed it. I was just wowed by how she built her business and how much work goes into a "collection" year after year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571139 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:17:31 +0000 rachylou 1571139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You either have to undress completely when nature calls or snap wrangle...

That is indeed a difficult item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1571098 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:06:54 +0000 rachylou 1571098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She has always described herself as visceral, sensual, and I have always liked the sumptuous yet Spartan aspect of her ensembles.., but I have to say I never understood the body suit. That's a difficult item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1570965 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:37:25 +0000 Anonymous 1570965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She was/is one of the big reasons I went into clothing &amp; textiles in university. I found her story fascinating, and loved her versions of working wear for the modern woman. &nbsp;I am making myself sound 100 years old - ha. &nbsp;Anyways, my senior year tailoring project was a Donna Karan suit . &nbsp;Can't wait for the book to be released here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/donna-karan-interviewbook#post-1570908 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 06:23:55 +0000 rachylou 1570908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terry Gross interviewed Donna Karan today on ther radio show. Donna Karan has an autobiography that's just been published. I'd forgotten she was at Anne Klein. Made me think how much her leaving changed that line. I used to love DKNY; I mourn still my knit leggings and swing sweater that the moths got to. It was so Jetsons... </p>
