Donna Karan Offers 'Drive-In' Fashion
"Donna Karan is doing what she can to steer people toward the drive-in -- but not just any old drive-in. The Ballroom Drive-In, the outdoor theater being built by the nonprofit Ballroom Marfa at its contemporary art and culture center in Marfa, Texas, will be the beneficiary when the designer hosts a night of shopping Sept. 19 at her collection store at 819 Madison Ave.
A percentage of the proceeds will be used for the theater that is being designed by up-and-coming architect Ole Scheeren, a partner in Rem Koolhaas Architecture Firm. The Museum of Modern Art's Tina di Carlo and Josh Siegel will serve as guest curators. Siegel unintentionally set the wheels in motion for the project during a visit to the Texas art mecca.
Over drinks one night with Ballroom Marfa's Fairfax Dorn, he wondered aloud why Marfa doesn't have a drive-in. Now Dorn is busy trying to raise between $500,000 and $1 million to make that happen before the planned Memorial Day weekend opening."
