Fashion Talks with Pamela Golbin
French haute couture meets New York style during FIAF's Fashion Talks, hosted by Pamela Golbin, Curator in Chief of Twentieth-century and Contemporary Fashion at the Musée de la Mode et du Textile in Paris.

An American icon, Donna Karan revolutionized women’s wear with her famous “Seven Easy Pieces” collection. Her designs highlight the needs of modern women, crossing the professional with the feminine. A graduate of Parsons, Karan first worked at Anne Klein, becoming the label's co-designer with Louis Dell’Olio. Later, she started her own label, which featured Karan’s love for sensual fabrics and a modern silhouette. Today, a part of the respected LVMH brand, Donna Karan continues to redefine fashion with extended collections in menswear, children’s apparel, accessories, and home design.
