Donna Summer was born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on December 31, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts. As a child, the young talent was actively involved with the local church choir while utilizing her gift of song – little did she know, the subtle progress that would ensue would soon be her claim to fame. With a string of hits like “Love to Love You Baby“, “Last Dance” and “I Feel Love“, her music soon garnered an unstoppable following. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer consistently ruled the Billboard Hot 200 while proving to the world that an industrious work ethic always pays . Summer collaborated with some of music’s greatest heavyweights including Quincy Jones and Giorgio Moroder while aiding in uplifting a new genre of music; however, it was her ever-changing style that captivated the hearts of fashion enthusiasts everywhere.





Summer’s style was nothing short of lavishly fun. I mean, the woman could rock a sequin dress like no other! It was no secret that this beautiful siren dominated every fashion spectrum imaginable – her versatility set her apart as a well-revered legend. With a knack for styling the most extravagant furs to rocking some of the most intense pairs of oversized sunnies, this style maven’s execution was always immaculate. In addition to her showstopping performance ensembles, Miss Donna also serves as a pillar of personal inspiration to some of today’s hottest style stars including Fashion Bomb favorite, Solange. Her timeless yet flashy combinations coupled with an undeniable charisma has solidified her status as a sartorial pioneer.
