A Runway JourneyBy D.BeyerI was intrigued with Donna Karan after reading an interview done in the Sunday Parade magazine; a PR to the release of her memoir. Naturally I had to order her book. She spoke to my inner woman; expressing creative energy and mood in her style and action; and incorporating intuitive sense to fashioning freedom in the form of seven easy pieces. I came away; however; with a sense of needing space after a few short chapters; the pace of her life exhaustive; almost superhuman in the face of significant changes and losses; a tibial plateau fracture after a heli-skiing accident deserving only half a paragraph in her book. I especially enjoyed what Karan shared of her exchanges with significant others; like the water color paintings her (now deceased) husband; Stephan; did for her of a plus sign in sunny yellow and a minus sign in black--"You can look at life either way; Donna;" he said. "Its your choice; remember that." Donna Karans work is not over; and I do love the journey she is on both spiritually and in her philanthropy. She is truly living the metaphor--giving more life and light out; and receiving more in spades.20 of 23 people found the following review helpful. She Learned To Carry OnBy prisrobWhat I have learned when reading celebrity biographies is that they really are pretty much like the rest of us. Donna Karan was born to parents in the fashion business. Her father; Gabby; died when she was three; and her mother; who was called Queenie focused on her job. Queenie came home exhausted from her job; and would be distant and not the supportive mother Donna and her sister needed. Her mom remarried to a man also in the fashion business; and he became the father Donna craved. Donna worked all through high school and went to Parson s School of Design where she met Louis DellOlio; the designer who became a life long friend. Donna learned fashion on the job and quit Parsons. She met Anne Klein and after a difficult beginning they became a team.Donna married at a young age; to Mark Karan; and had their daughter; Gabby. But Donna could never forget her one true love; Stephan Weiss. The day Anne Klein died from cancer; Donna delivered her baby; Gabby. The Anne Klein team asked her to take over the business; and so with a new baby; a marriage; she was at the start of her career. Eventually she left Anne Klein and started her own fashion line which became wildly successful. Remember the Seven Basic Pieces; the seven pieces of clothing every woman needs in her visit; that was Donnas baby. Donna realized early on that she wanted to dress her clients as she would dress. She had many famous clients and one of the most famous; Barbra Striesand; who remains a close friend to this day. Donna spent forty years designing and dressing from the groovy times in the 70-80s until 2014; when she retired. Donna initiated the fitted suits and jumpsuits that showed off womens figures; but were fashionable and comfortable. From the basic black dress to the yoga pants.Donna relates stories of her time in the fashion industry with Anne Klein; Anne Klein II;to her own company Donna Karan Company. Her second husband and the love of her life; Weiss; died in 2001; and when she was scheduled to present her first fashion show without him; it had to be canceled because of 9/11. The stories and her times with her clients and celebrities bring the best of times. This book is well written and warts and all are bared. Not much is held back; and this gives me a renewed appreciation for this fashion icon. She has her foundation; Urban Zen; which combines fashion and spirituality; and this will keep her busy. She is a grandparent and relishes this role. Her life is good and she is looking for her next move.Recommended. prisrob 10-20-152 of 2 people found the following review helpful. could have been half the length with better; more to the pointBy Mari P.interesting but went on too long on certain parts. could have been half the length with better; more to the point editing
