Donna Karan New York Launches Summer 2025 Social Media Campaign

When Donna Karan launched a collection in 1985 that founded her namesake designer brand, she did so with the concept of 'Seven Easy Pieces,' aka wardrobe staples and builders—the bodysuit, tailored jacket, pants, skirt, cashmere sweater, leather jacket, and evening look—geared at the working woman. While a lot has changed with the Donna Karan brand in the last 40 years—it's now owned by G-III Apparel—today's iteration offers those seven pieces and more at a price point once referred to in department stores as moderate.

With a stunning campaign art directed by Trey Laird, the initial launch campaign for Spring 2024, shot by Annie Leibovitz, starred supermodels Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Karlie Kloss, and more. It was followed up with the Fall 2024 campaign 'Reflections on Women,' shot by Mikael Jansson and starring Christy Turlington, Amber Valletta, and Alek Wek. Now, the brand aimed at today's professional woman is introducing its latest campaign for summer 2025, building on the launch campaign. This time, the media initiative, which will launch on Donna Karan New York's Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook channels, along with stars Helena Christensen, Isabeli Fontana, Cindy Bruna, and Esther Cañadas, women who have had key moments in advertising and fashion shows during the brand's designer powerhouse days. Today, they represent women who inspire the brand story. For this latest effort, the campaign features interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage of the photo shoot. In a series of videos, the models reflect on their time with the brand. For instance, Cindy Bruna recalls her first runway show for Donna Karan and echoes the sentiment of the campaign, saying, 'It's all about walking down the street like it's your runway and feeling powerful.'
