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.

The entire collection is designed and produced entirely in New York City, allowing Donna the ability to oversee every aspect of the collection.
