Synopsis

The most prominent and successful designer in American fashion, Donna Karan's popularity is due to her philosophy of designing real clothes for real women, as easily worn in normal life as on the catwalk. Her creations, such as the "body" slipped naturally into the chic, modern wardrobes of New York women before becoming known internationally. Ingrid Sischy co-curated the "Visitors" exhibition at the 1996 Florence Biennial, which included Donna Karan.

From Library Journal:

These four volumes continue the "Universe of Fashion" series of 11 titles published since 1996. Each volume in the series is devoted to a notable fashion designer and follows a simple template: ten to 15 pages of biography, 50 pages or so of photographs illustrating the designer's work, a career chronology, and photographic credits accompanied by thumbnails of the larger photographs (a nice touch). The volumes resemble miniature exhibit catalogs, providing quick glimpses of the lives and work of people who have molded the fashion establishment during the last few decades. Given the lack of scholarly apparatus, these are not essential works, but they do complement comprehensive art and design collections.?P. Steven Thomas, Central Michigan Univ. Lib., Mt. Pleasant
