The fashion brand DONNA IDA was launched in 2012. The core DONNA IDA collection consists of women's designer jeans, silk blouses, cashmere jumpers and simple tees. Founder Donna Ida Thornton is regularly referred to as the 'Jean Queen'.[4][5]
Notable fans of Donna Ida include Made in Chelsea regular Millie Mackintosh[6] who, in 2012, did a photo-shoot with Donna Ida[7] and in 2011 was seen shopping at the store.[8]
