Donna Karan is a bit like Harper's Bazaar: there are moments when she's clearly on her game, and then there are the moments when she's searching, searching, searching for something the rest of us can't see.

Much like Harper's, the DKNY demographic is best described as a 30 to 40 something woman who fancies herself as a crisp 25 year old. From a business perspective, that's a profitable chunk of the market to be pandering to: firmly ensconced in their careers, these are women who aren't afraid to lay down the dollars to build a wardrobe.

So why, dear Donna, would you want to scare them all off with a collection that makes even your 19 year old models look like 70's era house hags?

Don't know about you, but we'll be filing DKNY Spring 2006 RTW under "Not so Fabulous".

xo.
