i have a new love...

and her name is donna karan. it is funny, because i've never been blown away by her clothes. that changed yesterday when i saw her interviewed on the view. two things that stuck out...
she failed draping at parson's school of design. thank you, dk, for encouraging me. she is the queen of draping. she never thought she would design. she thought she would be a stay-at-home mom and was content with that. however, she said that the "universe" led her to design and her career fell into her lap.
(of course, i completely disagree with her beliefs. however, i do appreciate her living according to what is given to her and not living according to a 5-year/10-year plan.)

secondly, she talked about how she must look into the mirror every day and address the situation. that is how she knows how to dress a woman's body, a real woman's body. and she loves fabric. i loved that. she is a real woman in the midst of fake hollywood women that women across america (including myself) strive to be. but, she is just lovely and i love the way she dresses. well, that just made me appreciate her clothes so much more.

and her clothes. if only i had millions of dollars. then i might be able to wear them. i will just admire from afar.










thank you, donna karan. i will keep my eye on your clothes from now on.
