Fantastic Fall Fashion: High Neck Faux Wrap Top by Donna Degnan, Made in New York City, Highly Recommended by Whom You Know
In an industry where lesser brands hide behind large emblazoned logos and ridiculous Fashion Week gimmicks clamoring for cursory attention, the truly brilliant, talented and stylish designers stand proud behind classic designs with a modern twist that trump all such banal attention of the faux "designers." The look of intelligence speaks for itself and they know less is more, quietly.
It's the quieter ones that these monster marketers without the solid designs behind their loudness need to worry about.
Leading the way in Fall 2016 worldwide with quiet, absolutely stunning sophistication is Donna Degnan, who is not someone who says she manufactures "overseas" (a politically correct term for those that clearly are not committed to quality oversight in a vertical business) - because that would not be true.
Donna Degnan not only is proud to manufacture in America: she is proud to manufacture in New York City. Donna was previously featured for the first time earlier this week:
This top is our favorite top for fall. It's uber-flattering and automatically draws attention to your neckline with its cool triangle cut out. Donna balances sexy with classy perfectly as it is cut on the lower side but not too low, leaving what should be left to the imagination hidden. Also note when your eye is going there, it is not going to your hips or waist, bien sur. Be careful to wear a small necklace underneath that peaks out if you wear one at all (we suggest small and gold); you don't want necklaces cluttering up Donna's amazing design.
For a fashion forward take on your basics, opt for this crepe long sleeve, zip back top. The cross over detailing falls into a gorgeous V-neck cut and the band collar adds to the look to make it on trend. Style it with slim leg pants and heels for a sophisticated overall appearance.
It's available in Red, Ivory, Black, and Berry. Above it is shown in red; below it is shown in berry. Peachy Deegan is wearing it in black and berry, which she will be calling Boston College Eagle maroon because Donna knows how to #evertoexcel (college motto from The Iliad; Boston College was founded in 1863 by Irish Immigrants in downtown Boston: today it is a university in Chestnut Hill and you know who was a tour guide there for four years...)
You even look great from the back!

Made in America
The Donna Degnan Collection offers a modern take on fashion that caters to a woman’s attitude rather than a particular age. Each season, the collection is designed to anticipate and incorporate the ever-changing fashion trends, without ever compromising the foundations of classic styling. “There was a void in the market for on trend clothing designed with sophisticated, quality workmanship”, explains Donna. "As a woman, I was looking for this. As a designer, I decided to create it”. 20 years later, Donna has held true to her vision. The entire collection is designed and produced entirely in New York City, allowing Donna the ability to oversee every aspect of the collection.
"There is nothing louder, to me than an overthought outfit. It’s clear when someone is trying to dress versus just dressing. Simplicity is the most precious of qualities in any design. It keeps the focus on what’s important, you."

The initial purpose honed her aesthetic as a designer.
