Donna Karan's Friday afternoon show, which officially ended Fashion Week, was a love poem to New York. It was dubbed "Urban Decadence" and was all about "a love of the city with an obsession with nature." It also marked her 20th anniversary in business, and because the bodysuit started it all, Donna began the show with the bodysuit- accessorizing it with the season's signature fur shrug and wrapped neck scarf (and then went on to show them in dizzying combinations throughout.)
Jersey was wrapped, molded and draped, and many dresses were accessorized with William Morris hand blown glass spheres. The almost shoulder length black jersey gloves fit like second skins. It was a runway filled with plays on texture- from rough and ready leathers (slightly distressed) to tweeds and plaids and burn out velvets. Donna used iridescent feathers to form the basis for a long evening dress, and ended with gold sequined number that would be perfect for the Red Carpet. While at times it looked a bit self conscious, studied and tricky, it was fiercely feminine, tactile, and moody.
