………………….Donna Karan was married to Stephen Weiss on the hottest day of the entire summer! It was on September 11th, 1983. The wedding took place in the back yard of Stephen’s mother’s house. A huge tent was set up on the lawn with a wooden dance floor. It really was a blistering hot humid day. I designed Donna’s wedding dress which was a billowy chiffon low notched open collar shirt covered in iridescent baby sequins. The skirt was yards of chiffon cut into circles. She wore a wide belt covered in layers of the chiffon…..On her head she wore a huge ivory straw hat, and the front brim was held back with a large pearl stick pin…….It was so hot I decided that morning to scratch the navy suit I had planned to wear, and wore a pale blue dress shirt, sleeves rolled up, with a pink tie, and white Bermuda shorts with pink socks and white bucks….I was the “coolest” guy there….literally……In the photo Jac had just given me a piece of the yummy wedding cake, and I was licking the frosting off of my fingers……The photographer was there just at the right second to capture this moment in time.
Sweet!
Any photos of the beautiful wedding dress you designed?
No…..Donna sent me this photo taken by her photographer, but she didn’t send me any of her in the dress.
The dress is beautiful…You can google a photo of the wedding.
