To save money, use Karen Kane coupons and Karen Kane cashback when you shop for plus-size women’s apparel and accessories. Karen Kane fell in love with fashion and attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. In 1979, she designed and sold her own collection of colorful silk tops from her Studio City home. As her family grew, so did her designs. Today, the family-run store, and the KarenKane.com website, still focuses on providing simple styles with a California flair.
