Aliza Licht
SVP Global Communications for Donna Karan International;
Voice of DKNY Social Media
Aliza Licht graduated the University of Maryland as a Francis Scott Key Scholar with a B.S. in Neurobiology and Physiology in 1996, with dreams of becoming a plastic surgeon. After deciding she couldn’t spend a life in scrubs, she decided to pursue her childhood love for fashion and started in the magazine industry. After two years in editorial, Licht decided to make the jump to public relations where she joined Donna Karan International in 1998. She is currently the senior vice president of global communications.
In 2009, Licht took on social media on top of her traditional PR responsibilities and created “DKNY PR GIRL”, the company’s award winning social media personality that she is the singular voice of. With over 435,000 organic Twitter followers to date, DKNY PR GIRL (@dkny) is known for her engaging, real and ‘never scheduled’ posts and commentary.
DKNY PR GIRL was Style Coalition’s Fashion 2.0 Award winner for Best Twitter (2010-2012) and dknyprgirl.com as “Best Fashion Blog” (2012).
In 2011, DKNY was the only fashion brand to be nominated
for a Mashable Award for “Must Follow Brand”. In 2012
DKNY PR GIRL won Style Bistro’s 2012 Reader’s Choice Award for must follow personality in social media & Likeable Media’s “Most Likeable Brand in Social Media”.
Licht was featured as one of TIME Style & Design’s
“Six Women Who Rule the Fashion World” (2012) and The New York Times dubbed Licht an
E-Lebrity (2012), as one of the most followed personalities in the social media space. Luxury Daily named Licht as a “Women to Watch” in 2013 and Fashionista included Licht in the 50 Most Influential People in New York Fashion Right Now (2013).
