New York —

Tara McGrath has been promoted to design director for Donna Karan and DKNY Home collections.

She reports to Patsy Pollack, CEO of Donna Karan Home, which is a division of CHF Industries.

McGrath will be responsible for the overall design direction for both the Donna Karan collection and DKNY brands. Working in conjunction with the design directors at Donna Karan International, she will develop the home inspiration for DKNY and Donna Karan bedding and bath collections. In addition, McGrath is responsible for the direction and supervision of the Donna Karan Home design team.

Previously, she had been the design director for the DKNY Home bedding and bath collections since 2003.

In that position, McGrath was responsible for developing and sourcing the design development for the DKNY Home collections, including the introduction of DKNY Play — a convertible bedding and bath program designed to mix and match allowing the customer to “make their own bed.”
