Just a little nip slip lol

OK, OK, in all seriousness, there's literally nothing about this collection I don't like.

First favourite collection of S/S 2014. This is truly the DK I love. The colours, particularly the ocean blue, the hats, loose belts all create this vivid image of gorgeous women on a safari.

Everything is reminiscent of S/S 2007, especially given that Hilary closed! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that though, if anything it endeared the collection more to me.

Finally something different @ NYFW

I like the first half of the collection.

Uber-cool and at the same time sophisticated. This must be my favourite SS14 collection so far.

 

[jmrmartinho]

She always does the same thing...and why the hell is Donna wearing a bad in the finale?

 

[VerdeShimmer]

The hat looks like the Harry Potter sorting hat. I love the dresses.

 

[GERGIN]

It's so effortlessly chic! If I could be a girl for a day I would wear all of this.

The hat looks like the Harry Potter sorting hat. I love the dresses.

the hats were my only issue with this collection. The hats and that one look that Karlie Kloss wore when she first came out, the rest I thought was beautiful - Donna Karan excels at what she does - luxurious liquid drapes and soft tailoring and those enormous breathable blouses.
She did tribal again, but somehow it fits in so well with her brand and I don't mind.

EXQUISITE!!! I want to be a Masai warrior princess next season! The tribal dresses are just great!

My favorite show so far !

i love it though some of the 1st looks are giving me some uncomfortable pagan vibe. Poor Karlie got that ugly witchy outfit but thankfully her second one is very nice

I love the way she treated the fabric, it's sensual collection. The color wasn't new but refreshing as I haven't seen this color palette on ss14 yet.

Donna Karan came out for her bow looking like she was ready to hail a cab. Trenchcoat. Oversize leather tote. Large, graphic-printed scarf. The crowd shrugged its collective shoulders and dashed off to the next show, but it's worth bringing up. Her collection would've gone over better if she'd reined in some of its excesses.

She had the fundamentals of a beautiful lineup—one that felt signature Donna: languid dresses slung with leather belts at the hips, softly constructed coats and jackets that slipped on like a robe, an inviting palette of sea blues and warm, sunbaked browns. But she took a wrong turn somewhere along the way. Her program notes described the collection as a quest: "How to turn the sensuality and ease of a hand-blocked scarf into a chic urban wardrobe of day into night pieces," they said. But block prints are better in small quantities. On a silk caftan shirt and matching stretch georgette wrap skirt, they overwhelmed. Ditto goes for the printed pajama pants paired with a handwoven suede jacket trailing fringe to the knees. The enormous crushed leather hats didn't help her cause, although the large pendants on leather cords looked new and cool.

For the most part, Karan swapped prints for solid colors on her evening dresses, and the show ended on an up note. Kati Nescher's spice and terra-cotta halter gown was knockout.

How come Nicole Phelps didn't like it? And Cathy Horyn hasn't even mentioned the show so far
