Makeup Artist Profile - Donna KaranDonna Faske, who would later become fashion mogul Donna Karan, was born in 1948 in Queens, New York. Indeed, her upbringing was tailored for a budding fashion designer: her mother was a showroom model and her step-father was a practicing suit maker. Such influences and auspicious connections were not wasted on the young Karan and she was admitted to the prestigious Parson’s School of Design in 1968. While attending design school Donna Karan managed to get a summer job working for designer Anne Klein. Her work was so impressive that within two years she was promoted to Associate Designer. A further boost to her career came shortly afterwards as she was made head designer. She was only 26 years old. She remained at the helm of this New York fashion house until 1985 when she decided to strike out on her own. ‘Donna Karan New York’ was soon founded. Karan characteristically went from strength to strength. Her first fall line, which she developed during her first six months of motherhood, was so impressive that the Council of Fashion named her designer of the year that same year. Many more consumers and critics were won over in years to come by Ms. Karan’s designs. These tend to be conceived with real people, not models, in mind and she prides herself on making durable, wearable clothing, inspired by the bustling and hectic lifestyle of New York. Many have noticed in her a determination and professionalism but also deep stubbornness. Donna is a true New Yorker at heart. However, it is these qualities which have allowed her to achieve so much success. Her success in the fashion world is evident: her labels, ‘Donna Karan’ and ‘DKNY’, are major fashion powerhouses and she is respected as one of the world’s foremost designers. Success has also followed her into her domestic life. Her husband, Steven Weiss, worked closely and happily with her at ‘Donna Karan’ until recently. She has three children with him. |
