The high fashion designer Donna Karen has been designing attire for women for over an impressive number of years; all of her pieces take on a simple yet fashionable style. Garments in the collection are the ideal wardrobe staples for the working woman, and each piece has been designed to give power to their wearer.

The Spring/Summer 2010 collection is enthused with a variety of elements; including the sky, water, wind, sand, earth and fire, and all combine a series of emotions with sophisticated city living. These emotions predominantly house freedom of nature.

Donna Karans line is built around the pressures of the modern women’s life, which echoes in her collections. The design house release a fresh capsule wardrobe every single season, making systematic dressing easy with both luxury and style.

Items in the current collection include adaptable two-piece looks, complete with cinched in belted jackets and layered pencil skirts, to simple yet sexy dresses. Many of the attire in the line have been enthused with twisted and crushed fabrics, created in canvas, silk jersey and printed organza.

The colour palette contrasts subtle shades such as Cloudy Grey and Sky Blue with intense hues such as Fiery Coral. All will work ideally with your existing wardrobe and add an instant update to any ensemble.

Two of the favourites in the line include the Sky blue linen wrap dress, which is priced at £1415 and the equally sought-after Coral taffeta cap sleeve dress, which can be obtained for a price of £1950.
