Fashion designer Donna Karan has come to her pal Harvey Weinsteins defense in a bold way saying sexually harassed women may be asking for it by dressing seductively, according to the Daily Mail.
You look at everything all over the world today and how women are dressing and what they are asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble, she told the British tabloid in a red-carpet interview at the CinéFashion Film Awards in LA.
To see it here in our own country is very difficult, but I also think how do we display ourselves? How do we present ourselves as women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality?

(4,483 posts)Can you believe that an independent, successful businesswoman, of all people, would hold this hoary old belief. Asking for it. I'm speechless.

(9,353 posts)The DKNY line has been sold to a Chinese company. Donna Karan has nothing to do with it anymore.
ALSO! - its the same company that manufactures Ivanka Trumps line.
Hows that for weird coincidence?

(21,573 posts)i've seen women wearing everything from giant parkas down to bikinis made of dental floss and i've never thought for a second that any of them wanted me to sexually harass them, nor have i had any desire to sexually harass them. but I guess that's just the difference between a kind human being and a scum sucking sociopath.
