Simplicity, frankness, creativity, bold style for confident personalities, as well as an innovative approach to style and freedom from prejudice when it comes to design – this is the most accurate description of the brand, which was launched in 1984 by American fashion designer Donna Karan.

A year after its founding, Donna Karan debuted the renowned Essentials clothing collection, which was based on the idea of  providing women with 7 wardrobe basic things that could be perfectly combined with each other, creating fashionable and original looks for any event in everyday life. This progressive idea turned out to be very successful – it made life easier for women, allowing them to rethink their wardrobe, leaving room for imagination, while relying on practicality and universality.

The designer saw more pleasure in making things that are comfortable and versatile, the kind that most of us prefer to wear in our daily life.
In 1988, Karan launched the new DKNY line. The name of the brand became an abbreviation on behalf of the founder and the city in which both the main brand and its offshoot, which later became a full-fledged brand, originated.

New York City is best associated with the fast pace and modern rhythm of life, and this metropolis is in a special way correlated with the character and style of the brands created by Donna Karan. The main difference from the classic Donna Karan is that DKNY offers more youthful clothing at a more affordable price point.

Inspiration for clothes, shoes, fragrances, accessories and glasses the designer finds in the dynamic melodies of a big city, in which it is so easy to get lost and which provokes to express oneself brightly, to remain in sight and impress with the own unique image. It is the comfortable expression of one’s self that is in the focus of the designer, which laid the foundation for a new era of street modern fashion.

And although Donna Karan is no longer the owner of the brand, she remains an ideological mastermind and consulting expert who helps designers create and surprise new generations of brand fans.
DKNY is a reflection of the spirit of New York, its diversity and vibrant energy. The emotions and moods of the Stone Jungle or the Big Apple, as New York is also called, can be traced in any product of the brand.

The new collection of eyewear from Donna Karan was created for those who value style and functionality, and for whom the excessive tinsel is unnecessary. DKNY glasses are presented in modern shapes and trendy colors, bright and exciting designs. The brand designers have carefully thought out all the details, playing with the classic shapes, creating each pair of sunglasses and eyeglasses in a subtle style which will certainly work for a lasting impression.
