Designer Donna Karan announced via a press release that should would be stepping down as Chief Designer for Donna Karan International. Karan presented her first collection in 1985, and is known for her womenswear designs that embrace power and sensuality. Karan says that she made the decision in order to focus more on her Urban Zen Company and foundation, founded in 2007.

“Donna Karan New York is a part of me, past, present and future. It has been an honor to speak woman to woman about Seven Easy Piece that forever changed the way women dress. I want to express my gratitude and my deepest feelings to the dozens and dozens of colleagues over the years who have helped take Donna Karan New York far beyond my wildest deems,” the designer said in a statement.
