When you receive an invitation to a cocktail party or finally book your dream summer
vacation, the question of what to wear inevitably pops up. The past two years have seen
comfort reign supreme in our wardrobes, but the current fashion climate leans towards
looking chic without sacrificing this newfound fondness for comfort. We crave fun,
energizing colors, easy-to-wear silhouettes, and versatile styles that transition smoothly
from day to night. It sounds like a tall order, but designer Donna Leah encourages us to
dream big and have it all!
Day to Night and Office to Poolside
Enter the Sizzle Series from Donna Leah Designs: a line of tunic dresses that are the
epitome of chic comfort. This new collection, adored by fashionistas, world travelers,
and anyone unwilling to compromise on style, encompasses everything we’re looking
for. These designer dresses radiate style without sacrificing comfort and come with an
attainable luxury price tag of $500.
Beyond personal enjoyment, these tunic dresses make ideal gifts. With a one-size-fits-
all design, the only task left is to choose one of the six stunning colors, add a bow and a
smile, and gift it to someone special. They’ll remember this gift as they celebrate
throughout the summer and well into the new season.
Easy Going Elegance All Day Long
Each Sizzle Series dress, crafted from all-over sequin fabric with appliques, exudes an
easygoing elegance. Its tunic-style silhouette features a rounded neckline and mid-
length sleeves with small cuffs. Perfectly measured at 33 inches, it can be worn with
sneakers for a sophisticated lunch or heels for a night out. Fashionistas have found they
can also cinch it at the waist with a belt for an additional look. The poly-lined Sizzle
Series pieces, complete with rib collars and short sleeves with cuffs, are designed to hit
above the knee, ensuring comfort and adequate coverage.
The Sizzle Series encapsulates Donna Leah’s focus on versatility. The pieces can be
styled as swim cover-ups, cocktail dresses, or paired with leggings or jeans. “This style
is extremely flattering on any body type because it’s not clingy or shapeless. I really
wanted this piece to be the new summer staple because we are at a point where we
want one piece to do it all – fashion, function, and everything in between. It even packs
really well!” says Donna Leah.
Embracing a Miami Vibe
Donna Leah’s Miami roots have significantly influenced the design and mood of the
collection. The city, renowned for its breathtaking beaches and beautiful sunsets,
inspired her to create a wardrobe staple that also functions as a sophisticated beach or
pool cover-up. “The Sizzle Series does not have a specific place where it can be worn.
That’s what I love so much about it. My love for shine and shimmer and wearing what I
love is translated into this collection that’s all about being happy and joyous,” says
Donna Leah.
Color is another fundamental aspect of Donna Leah’s collection. Since launching her
namesake brand, Donna Leah Designs, just a few years ago, she has earned
admiration from A-listers like Tanya Tucker and influencer Alexandra Dieck. Her work,
characterized by vibrant, intricate fabrics that pay homage to a coastal vibe, is instantly
recognizable. Donna Leah, an alumnus of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology,
uses her knowledge to create some of the most fun, festive looks in formalwear, playing
with textures such as edgy leatherette with shine and intricate beadwork.
