Donna Karan fills us in on one of her nearest and dearest pals, plus her affinity for all things ’90s… Love your ‘90s DKNY revival with Opening Ceremony. How would you describe yourself in the ‘90s?
I think I’m still in the ‘90s. I didn’t grow up!

You and Patti Cohen have been friends forever.
She’s really me.

Monique Lhuillier
The fairy godmother for the luxe set, Lhuillier specializes in outfitting those frequently on the tapis rouge and gala circuit—and she always delivers. This season, jewel tones and lace festooned the runway. To wit: An emerald green, marble patterned strapless chiffon dress with a sexy high slit (Angelina, are you taking note?). An amaranth faille frock, strapless up top and sporting a draped trumpet gown on the bottom, will be a likely starlet choice if the Golden Globes and SAG awards were any indication of what’s popular. Two looks in particular induced a slight bit of magic in the process: an emerald and black ombre column gown sporting flickering, color-changing effects as it moved, and a black spiderweb-sleeved dress with an illusion neckline that elegantly traced the back’s curvature. Lhuillier’s favorite? “I can’t wait to wear the strapless seamed cocktail dress with the net swing overlay.” Until then, Lhuillier plans to hit the slopes in Aspen for four days of much-deserved vacay. Bon voyage!

DKNY is time traveling back to the nineties by way of Opening Ceremony. The New York-based brand is teaming up with the retailer on a limited-edition capsule collection comprised of 15 DKNY items, reissued from the nineties archive, including the iconic skyline print you’ve been missing circa ’92. Expect hooded sweatshirts, color-blocked, zip-front jumpsuits, bodysuits, logo tees, puffers, and leggings that will retail between $145 and $665. The best part? The buzzy collab is slated to hit Opening Ceremony locations tomorrow in New York. Los Angeles, Toyko, and London, along with OpeningCeremony.Us.

It’s another good day for Guillaume Henry. Last night, Demi Moore wore a zippered dress from Carven Spring 2011 to the premiere of hubby Ashton Kutcher’s new film, No Strings Attached. It retails for $830 and will be sold at Opening Ceremony next month.
