Donna Karan Vintage 1990s 90s Black Sequin High Rise Tapered Evening Dress Pants
By Donna Karan
Located in San Diego, CA
A rare pair of vintage Donna Karan black sequin trousers dating to the early-to-mid 1990s, reflecting the sleek evening minimalism that defined her most celebrated era. Though the interior label was removed by the original owner, the cut, fabrication, and construction are consistent with Donna Karan Collection tailoring from circa 1993–1995.
Fully covered in liquid black sequins with subtle gunmetal depth, these high-rise trousers feature a sculpted 10 inch rise that sits at the true waist, creating the elongated proportions characteristic of Donna Karan’s 1990s evening silhouettes. The tapered leg and 32 inch inseam produce a lean, lengthening line designed to be worn with heels.
Throughout the mid-1990s, Donna Karan frequently styled streamlined sequin trousers with sheer knits and softly draped evening layers, pioneering the concept of modern evening separates. These pants embody that refined, understated glamour.
