DKNY is a New York City–based American fashion house for men and women, founded in 1984 by Donna Karan.

[1] The company specializes in a wide range of fashion products, including clothing, footwear, accessories and fragrances.

In 1984 Karan and her late husband Stephan Weiss were offered the opportunity to start their own business by the owner of Anne Klein, Takihyo LLC.

[citation needed] For its advertisement campaigns, DKNY has been working with several high-profile photographers, including Collier Schorr (2017).

[citation needed] Since 2005, Donna Karan has offered online shopping of its DKNY and associated lines at the label's web site.

Today, she is looking to sell off its Donna Karan business, less than a year after the fashion designer stepped down from her namesake brand.

LVMH is targeting a "single, specific American buyer" for both the DKNY and Donna Karan International businesses after several "months of disappointing performance" under its new designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osbourne.
