I’ve always been a huge Donna Karan fan and her philosophy to dress in only the highest quality items that make you utterly happy. Here is a woman who understands women and the many roles we play as mothers, friends, lovers, businesspeople and more, and who always manages to express that intimate understanding in her clothing designs.

Now, Donna Karan has taken on an even more important role with her passion project, The Urban Zen Foundation. It’s mission? “To raise awareness and inspire change in the areas of well-being, preserving culture and empowering children.”

As if I needed any more reasons to fall in love with Donna Karan and her designs! Like today’s VPOD, for instance.

This vintage 1990s cashmere evening gown is a rare piece designed by Maeve Carr for Donna Karan. First, the good news. It was previously owned and worn by Barbra Streisand! Now, the bad news. It has two small moth holes that will need to be mended.

Such a small price to pay for a Donna Karan-lovin’ vintage fashionista!
