My spouse's favorite brand of clothing is Donna Karan. Have you ever heard of the brand?
DK, of course I have. They have been around forever. He must be from New York to know about her.
He is! I always know what to get him for special occasions. Do you know anything else about DK? 
I know the designs come from a jewish family.
Interesting, I did not know it was a family business.
yes, DK her father was a tailer and died when DK was very young. It motivated her to no extent.
Wow, it is great that she was able to draw inspiration from tragedy. 
Yes it is, Karan started her career and went straight into design. She was an assistant designer in the 60's.
