Designer flashback – Donna Karan circa 1977

Check out this TV interview with Donna Karan dating back to 1977. This was back in the day when she was head designer at Anne Klein, before she started her own label. Fresh faced with a 70s style haircut that curled at the ends, Karan also sports one of today’s most popular beauty trends – dark nail polish. According to this thirty-year-old video clip, she only wears her own clothes (well Anne Klein clothes I’m assuming), and absolutely loves her red fox fur coat. Just check out the low slung waist line on that jacket! I wonder what PETA would have said about that interview if they had been as actively anti-fur back then.

See below the fold for a film clip made by Style.com which features Donna talking about her Fall/Winter 2008 collection.

Just compare Donna’s face from the seventies, to what it looks like now. Keep in mind 30 years is suppose to have past. Aside from the golden tan, she looks like she's hardly aged. The wonders of new skincare technology huh? It’s also interesting to see Molly Sims gush about her fabulous Donna Karan fur coat. Some things never change…
