Product Details

Product Description

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Just silly, Aug 21 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Donna Karan (Hardcover)
Thank goodness this was a gift! There is nothing to see here... just old magazine photos and old press clippings. Not even worth keeping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Donna Karan: America's #1 Fashion Designer, Nov 22 1998
This review is from: Donna Karan (Hardcover)
I would highly recommend this book for Donna Karan fans. The interview portion of the book is excellent - Donna tells how she revolutionized the fashion world by designing clothes for REAL women with REAL figures, not runway models. As a male, I appreciated it greatly when she branched out into menswear in the early 90's. I have a number of DKNY and Donna Karan New York Jackets, Shirts, Jeans, Sweaters, Vests, Athletic Gear, etc. and now I have a great coffee table book on Donna, America's #1 Fashion Designer!

2.0 out of 5 stars SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GET A PRESS RELEASE!!!, Jun 29 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Donna Karan (Hardcover)
I am a HUGE Donna Karan fan and could not wait for this book to be releases, but I was extremely disappointed when I recieved it. The first few pages are an interview with Karan. Every question asked is answered in her press release and is talked about in just about every magazine article ever written about her. The other 65 or 70 pages are old pictures of her clothes. Most of the pictures are old ads and if you follow her collections, you have already seen them. My advise is to call Patti Cohen's office and ask for a press release or to start reading magazine articles about Karan. It is a lot less expensive and is more informative.
