A lot of new ideas came from Donna’s husband
Donna Karan officiated as head designer and created the typical style of DKNY. Her aim was to mix comfort and luxurious elements.

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.
