Fashion designer DONNA KARAN has created a Balinese-style paradise in the Turks & Caicos Islands as a tribute to her late husband.

The style queen bought the land as a 17th wedding anniversary gift for her man, Stephan Weiss, six months before he lost his battle with cancer - and he asked Karan to turn the plot into a family retreat after his death.

Opening up the Parrot Cay plot to Architectural Digest magazine cameras, Karan says, “He asked me to promise that I would build a house on the property for each of our three children.

“He imagined it as a retreat where three generations could enjoy total privacy but be together. For the kids, it has become a mini-resort. For me, it’s a sanctuary where I go to create awareness.”
