Donna Karan 08秋冬·纽约秀场

NEW YORK, February 8, 2008 – The silk satin bathrobe dress with which Donna Karan opened her Fall show was something of a head-scratcher. This is the designer, after all, who helped women into the boardroom with her famous Seven Easy Pieces collection in the mid-eighties. Why had she now set her sights on the bedroom? Not that slinking around in a satin robe doesn't have its appeal, but what about practicality? Some of Karan's dresses came in jewel-tone chiffon that dipped dangerously close to the belly button in front, or went low on the sides and gathered loosely at the waist before gently falling to the knees. Others were draped toga-style in jersey, with elaborately knotted crisscrossing straps in back. Many of them had a lovely languid quality, but forget about wearing a bra.
