Career

Carrie Donovan Fashion trends The Carrie Donovan Jumbo frames A tribute

Carolyn Gertrude Amelia Donovan was born in Lake Placid, New York. When Donovan was just 10 years old, she mailed her own sketches for a design collection to the actress Jane Wyman, who replied with a handwritten letter. She later attended the Parsons School of Design, graduating in 1950. She worked as a journalist for 30 years but always wrote her copy out by hand, because she never got the hang of the typewriter.

Donovan gained recognition as a style editor for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and the New York Times Magazine. She was known for being able to quickly recognize talent, being among the first to praise the work of designers Donna Karan and Perry Ellis. It was her work for Old Navy, however, that brought her into the public eye.
