DONNA KARAN WAS A BAD DESIGNER

DONNA KARAN is amazed she became a world famous fashion designer - because she was useless at fashion school. The couturier was even told she had no hope of becoming a designer, after trashing outfits and flunking exams. She confesses, "I loved fashion. But I wasn't a very good student. Failed typing, failed draping, you know. I had a little ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) problem. Sewing? Oh forget it. I burnt my dress. They told me I would never make it as a fashion designer at all." And Karan admits she harbours another passion for food, adding, "I'm dying to have a restaurant."
