ASSOULINE IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE JOURNEY OF A WOMAN: 20 YEARS OF DONNA KARAN
USA- Assouline Publishing, the illustrated book publishing house behind such fashionable titles as Bettina Zilkha's Ultimate Style: The Best of the Best Dressed List, Dolce & Gabbana’s Hollywood, Linda Fargo’s Dreams Through The Glass and Diane von Furstenberg: The Wrap is proud to present The Journey of a Woman: 20 Years of Donna Karan with an introduction by  Ingrid Sischy. Commemorating her 20th Anniversary, this book chronicles the designer’s remarkable career, from her beginnings at Anne Klein to heading a multimillion-dollar international corporation and gracing covers of Forbes and Women’s Wear Daily.  Her journey is a visual one, and it is told by some of the world’s greatest fashion photographers including Herb Ritts, Peter Lindbergh, Mikael Jansson and Steven Meisel, who vividly show how the designer dresses her subjects for challenges of modern-day living: career and motherhood, mystery and celebrity, travel and at home.  It is also a journey that had been propelled by every aspect of Donna Karan’s life: daughter, wife, mother, grandmother. Cultural icons including Francesco Clemente, Isabella Rossellini, Anouk Aimee, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore and Cate Blanchett are shown wearing Donna Karan’s trademark elegance. Whether inside her minimalist interiors or outside in the lush landscapes that have inspired her, one can see that Donna Karan aesthetic and philosophy of living are one in the same: relaxed luxury. Proceeds from the book will benefit cancer care-related charities. For Serial Rights information, please contact Workhouse Publicity,  CEO Adam Nelson at nelson@workhousepr.com.
