DKNY (Donna Karan)

DKNY Perfume and Aftershave by Donna Karan

"Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul," says Donna Karan, chief designer of the international company that bears her name. "For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman, with all the complications, feelings and emotions."

Donna credits those feelings for the success of the company she founded in 1984 with her late husband Stephen Weiss. From her first flagship store opened in London in 1994, the company has expanded worldwide and now owns over 100 Donna Karan stores across the globe. Donna Karan is also internationally recognised for the DKNY (Donna Karan New York) brand, which represents "the energy and spirit of New York".

Donna Karan's expansion into the world of beauty began in 1992 with release of her first fragrance simply called Donna Karan. Since then the company has gone on to produce many best-selling fragrances and colognes including Cashmere Mist, Black Cashmere and of course Be Delicious, an instantly recognisable DKNY perfume range thanks to their apple-inspired bottles.
