 DONNKENNY, INC.
 1411 BROADWAY
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10018
(212) 790-3900
 -------------------------

 PROXY STATEMENT
 -------------------------

       This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of the accompanying proxy by the Board of Directors of Donnkenny, Inc. (the     
"Company") for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be 
held at 3:00 p.m. local time on September 22, 2003 at the offices of the        
Company, 1411 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10018 and any            
postponement or adjournment thereof. Only stockholders of record at the close of
business on August 4, 2003 are entitled to notice of and to vote in person or   
proxy at the annual Meeting. This proxy material is first being mailed to       
stockholders on or about August 12, 2003.                                       

 VOTING OF PROXIES

        The Company will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. In addition
to the solicitation of proxies by mail, certain officers and employees of the   
Company, without extra remuneration, also may solicit proxies. In addition to   
mailing copies of this material to stockholders, the Company may request persons
who hold stock in their names or custody or in the names of nominees for others 
to forward such material to those persons for whom they hold stock of the       
Company and to request the authority for execution of the proxies, and the      
Company may reimburse them for their expenses in connection therewith.          

        When a proxy is received, properly executed, prior to the meeting, the
shares represented thereby will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the  
terms thereof and the instructions, if any, given therein. If no instructions   
are provided in a proxy, it will be voted in accordance with the proxy-holder's 
discretion as to any matters raised at the Annual Meeting. As noted below,      
management knows of no specific proposal or matters to be brought before the    
annual meeting. As a result, the proxy holder's ability to use discretion in    
voting at the meeting is limited to ministerial matters.                        

        A stockholder who has executed a proxy may revoke it at any time prior
to its exercise by giving written notice of such revocation to the Secretary of 
the Company, executing and delivering to the Company a later-dated proxy        
reflecting contrary instructions, or appearing at the Annual Meeting and taking 
appropriate steps to vote in person. In all matters other than the election of  
directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or  
represented by proxy at the meeting and which entitle holders to vote thereat is
required for the adoption of such matters. Abstentions with respect to any      
matter submitted for stockholder approval at this Annual Meeting are treated as 
shares present and entitled to vote on that matter and thus have the same effect
as negative votes. If shares are not voted by the broker who is the record      
holder of the shares, or the shares are not voted in other circumstances in     
which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to any     
matter, these non-voted shares are not deemed to be present or represented for  
purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of that matter has been    
obtained, but are counted for quorum purposes.                                  

     At the close of business on August 4, 2003, 4,367,417 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), were     
outstanding and eligible for voting at the meeting. Each stockholder of record  
is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters that come before the 
meeting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of 
the Company entitled to vote at the meeting, whether present in person or       
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.                                

        Commencing 11 days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting, a complete
record of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, or any       
adjournment thereof, shall be available for inspection at the Company's         
executive office during normal business hours by any stockholder for any purpose
germane to the Annual Meeting. This record will also be available to            
stockholders for such purposes at the place of and during the Annual Meeting.

         The Company's executive offices are located at 1411 Broadway, New York,
New York 10018.                                                                 

 PROPOSALS

       The Company's management knows of no specific proposals or matters to
be brought before the annual meeting. However, if any matter properly comes     
before the meeting, the proxies that are signed and returned in time will be    
voted on those matters in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons 
voting the proxy. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, no      
material proposals may be brought before the annual meeting unless they are     
disclosed in this proxy statement. Accordingly, new proposals will be limited to
ministerial matters. Even if a stockholder signs and returns a proxy, the       
stockholder may revoke it at any time before the voting either by attending the 
meeting or by delivering a signed written notice of revocation to the Secretary 
of the Company before the meeting begins.                                       

    If a stockholder would like to include a proposal in the Company's
Proxy Statement for the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the submission must
be received by the Secretary of the Company at the principal offices in New York
city no later than April 15, 2004.                                              

   Under the Company's By-Laws, no business may be brought before an
annual meeting unless it is specified in the notice of the meeting or is        
otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a
stockholder entitled to vote who has delivered notice to the Company (containing
certain information specified by the By-Laws) not less than 60 days or more than
90 days prior to the annual meeting. These requirements are separate from and in
addition to the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements that a          
stockholder must meet in order to have a stockholder proposal included in the   
Company's proxy statement.                                                      

DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

    The By-Laws of the Company provide for a Board of Directors of not
fewer than two nor more than ten members. The specific number of directors is   
set by a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. On  
February 26, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution which established
the size of the Board of Directors at seven members. None of the members of the 
Company's Board of Directors have terms which will expire at this Annual        
Meeting. All Directors' terms expire on the date of the Company's 2004 Annual   
Meeting.                                                                        

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each
person serving on the Board of Directors of the Company and is based on the     
records of the Company and information furnished to it by the Directors.

Committees of the Board; Board Meetings                                         

        The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation and Nominating
Committees. Generally, the members of each committee are appointed by the Board 
of Directors for terms beginning with the first regular meeting of the Board of 
Directors following the Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are
elected and qualified. The Board of Directors, however, may change the          
composition of any committee at any time.                                       

       The Audit Committee's responsibilities are described under "Report of
the Audit Committee" below. The Audit Committee met six (6) times during the    
fiscal year 2002. The Board of Directors formally adopted a written charter for 
the Audit committee in 2002. The charter has undergone revisions the most recent
of which was adopted at the May 21, 2003 Board meeting. The full text of this   
charter is attached hereto as Appendix A. Members of the Audit Committee are    
Sheridan C. Biggs, Chair, Robert A. Kasenter and Richard C. Rusthoven. All      
members of the Audit Committee are independent directors, and the Board, in its 
business judgment, has determined that Mr. Biggs, the Chair of the Audit        
Committee meets the financial literacy requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.            

 The Compensation Committee has responsibility for reviewing and
approving remuneration arrangements for directors and executive officers,       
including bonuses and recommending new executive compensation plans in which the
officers and directors are eligible to participate. The Compensation Committee  
makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the Company's stock   
option and restricted stock plans and has sole authority to set the terms of and
grant options pursuant to the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan, the Company's   
1994 Non-Employee Director Option Plan and 1996 Restricted Stock Plan. The      
Compensation Committee met formally on one (1) occasion during the fiscal year  
ended December 31, 2002 and had informal conferences during such year. Robert A.
Kasenter, Chair, Sheridan Biggs and Richard C. Rusthoven serve on the           
Compensation Committee.                                                         

 The Nominating Committee has responsibility for considering and
recommending candidates for the Company's Board of Directors. The Nominating    
Committee meets on such occasions as circumstances warrant. During the fiscal   
year ended December 31, 2002, the Nominating Committee met once and had several 
informal meetings. Richard C. Rusthoven, Chair, Sheridan Biggs and Robert A.    
Kasenter serve on the Nominating Committee.                                     

        During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Board of Directors
met on four (4) occasions. While serving as a director, each member of the Board
of Directors attended more than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board
of Directors and of all committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she 
was serving during the periods that he or she served as a director.             

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

         The following table sets forth certain information, as of July 1, 2003,
with respect to beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by: (i) each 
of the Company's directors, (ii) each of the Company's Named Executive Officers,
(iii) each person who is known by the Company beneficially to own more than 5%  
of the Company's Common Stock, and (iv) by all directors and executive officers 
who served as directors or executive officers as of July 1, 2003 as a group. All
information in the table below with respect to the Common Stock of the Company  
has been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split paid to all holders of 
Common Stock of record on December 4, 1995 and a one-for-four reverse stock     
split effective April 20, 2000. For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership
is defined in accordance with Section 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and means generally the power to vote or dispose of the securities,        
regardless of any economic interest therein. In addition, a person is deemed to 
be a beneficial owner of shares that can be acquired by such person within 60   
days from the record date upon the exercise of opions and warrants or conversion
of convertible securities. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is      
determined by assuming that options, warrants and convertible securities that   
are held by such person (but not held by any other person) and that are         
exercisable or convertablie within 60 days from July 1, 2003 have been exercised
or converted.

the last day of Mr. Katz served as an employee of the Company.

        The Company's long-term performance ultimately determines compensation
from stock options because stock option value is entirely dependent on the      
long-term growth of the Company's Common Stock price.

Employment Agreements                                                           

Daniel H. Levy.                                                                 

        As of January 1, 2000, Mr. Levy entered into an employment agreement
with the Company to serve as its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive      
Officer.                                                                        

      Mr. Levy's employment agreement provided for a base annual salary of
$500,000, as well as a discretionary performance bonus based on the achievement 
of goals to be set by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of      
Directors, and certain insurance benefits which are grossed up for tax impact.  
The Company paid Mr. Levy a relocation bonus of $25,000, with a gross-up for the
tax effect of this bonus.                                                       

   In connection with the execution of the employment agreement, the
Compensation Committee granted Mr. Levy 37,500 restricted shares of the         
Company's stock, which would vest on December 31, 2002. The employment agreement
further provided for the issuance of another 37,500 restricted shares of the    
Company's stock if Mr. Levy was employed by the Company on June 30, 2002, which 
shares would also vest on December 31, 2002. Mr. Levy also was granted options  
to purchase 37,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a purchase price of 
$2.75 a share. 25,000 of these stock options vested on June 30, 2000 and the    
balance of 12,500 vested on December 31, 2000. The employment agreement provided
that the restricted shares and the options granted would have accelerated       
vesting in the event of a change in control of the Company.                     

    The agreement provided that in the event Mr. Levy's employment was
terminated (except in certain limited circumstances) following a change in      
control of the Company, Mr. Levy would have the right to receive severance      
benefits equal to three times the sum of his then annual salary inclusive of any
performance bonus. On February 26, 2001, Mr. Levy's employment agreement was    
amended to eliminate the restricted stock award referred to in his original     
agreement, and increased his annual base salary to $700,000 effective January 1,
2001.                                                                           

         As of January 1, 2002, Mr. Levy entered into a new employment agreement
with the Company to serve as its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive      
Officer. The term of the employment agreement is for an ongoing and continuous  
term of three years, with an automatic extension and renewal each day subsequent
to January 1, 2002, so that at all times after January 1, 2002, the remaining   
term shall be three years.                                                      

      Mr. Levy's employment agreement provides for a base annual salary of
$850,000, a performance bonus based on participation in the bonus plan in effect
for all other senior executives of the Company and certain insurance and other  
benefits which are grossed up for tax impact. In addition, commencing January 1,
2003 and on each January 1 thereafter Mr. Levy shall be eligible for an increase
in his base annual salary equal to the greater of either the percentage increase
in the Cost of Living Index (as defined) or at such higher rate as the          
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its discretion designates.  

The agreement further states that if Mr. Levy's employment is 
terminated (except in certain limited circumstances) following a Change of      
Control, as defined, then Mr. Levy shall be entitled to receive severance       
benefits equal to three times the sum of his then base annual salary inclusive  
of performance bonus payable. Mr. Levy and his eligible dependents will be      
provided with medical insurance coverage at the Company's expense for a maximum 
of five years from date of termination.                                         

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS

         The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors operates under a Charter,
which has been approved by the Company's full Board. The Charter is included in 
Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.                                             

8 

DEFA14A 10th Page of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next Bottom Just 10th

     As more fully described in the Charter,  the Audit Committee is responsible
the  selection of the  Company's  independent  accountants,  review of financial
statements, discussion of internal controls and pending litigation, taxation and
other  areas  of  oversight   and  reporting  to  the  full  Board  and  to  the
stockholders.                                                                   

    During the year 2002, the Audit Committee met six (6) times during
which meetings the committee reviewed financial statements included in the      
Company's quarterly reports, met privately with the Company's independent       
auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, considered the effect on the auditors'         
independence of non-audit work (consisting principally of tax matters and       
acquisition due diligence services) performed by that firm and considered       
various other matters. In this regard, the Committee discussed with Deloitte &  
Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing        
Standards Board Standard No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit          
Committees". In addition, Deloitte & Touche LLP has provided the Audit Committee
with the written disclosures and the letter required by the Independence        
Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit            
Committees". All of the Audit Committee's deliberations were reported to the    
Full Board.

(b)  Includes fees for the audit of the Company's employee benefit plan,        
    acquisition due diligence services and accounting consultations concerning
implementation of new financial accounting and reporting standards.   

(c)  Other fees relate to tax advisory services.

    is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and
has concluded that such services are compatible.                      

      All fees paid to Deloitte & Touche LLP were reviewed and approved by
the Audit Committee.                                                            

     Additionally, the Audit Committee, on the basis of discussions with

 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS

         The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for
determining the compensation of executive officers of the Company, including    
compensation awarded pursuant to the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan and 1996  
Restricted Stock Plan. Robert A. Kasenter, Sheridan C. Biggs, and Richard C.    
Rusthoven presently serve on the Compensation Committee.

General Policies Regarding Compensation of Executive Officers                   

   The Company's executive compensation policies are intended (1) to
attract and retain high quality managerial and executive talent and to motivate 
these individuals to maximize stockholder returns, (2) to afford appropriate    
incentives for executives to produce sustained superior performance, and (3) to 
reward executives for superior individual contributions to the achievement of   
the Company's business objectives. The Company's compensation structure consists
of base salary, annual cash bonuses, stock options and restricted stock awards. 
Together, these components link each executive's compensation directly to       
individual and Company performance.                                             

Salary. Base salary levels reflect individual positions,      
responsibilities, experience, leadership and potential contribution to the      
success of the Company. Actual salaries vary based on the Compensation          
Committee's subjective assessment of the individual executive's performance and 
the Company's performance.                                                      

      Bonuses. Bonuses are typically awarded by the Compensation Committee
for the fiscal year just ended based on the Company's and Executive performances
for such fiscal year. During Fiscal 2001, the Company's Board of Directors      
adopted a Management Incentive Plan which provided a formula for determining the
annual bonuses of the Company's senior executives. The bonus formula is based on
the Company meeting predetermined financial performance criteria and, in some   
cases, the executive meeting individual criteria set for the executive.         
Management of the Company evaluates the executive's performance and conveys such
recommendations to the Compensation Committee for its consideration. Bonus      
awards for 2002 performances were paid in 2003.                                 

      Stock Options. Stock options are granted at the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of grant. The stock options are intended to provide
employees with sufficient incentive to manage from the perspective of an owner  
with an equity stake in the business.                                           

       In determining the size of individual option grants, the Compensation
Committee considers the aggregate number of shares available for grant, the     
number of individuals to be considered for an award of stock options, and the   
range of potential compensation levels that the option awards may yield. The    
number and timing of stock option grants to executive officers are decided by   
the Compensation Committee based on its subjective assessment of the performance
of each grantee. In determining the size and timing of option grants, the       
Compensation Committee weighs any factors it considers relevant and gives such  
factors the relative weight it considers appropriate under the circumstances    
then prevailing. While an ancillary goal of the Compensation Committee in       
awarding stock options is to increase the stock ownership of the Company's      
management, the Compensation Committee does not, when determining the amount of 
stock options to award, consider the amount of stock already owned by an        
officer. The Compensation Committee believes that to do so could have the effect
of inappropriately or inequitably penalizing or rewarding executives based upon 
their personal decisions as to stock ownership and option exercises.            

         Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards are granted at prices (or for
no consideration) as determined by the Compensation Committee. The restricted   
stock awards are intended to attract and retain the services or advice of       
quality employees, officers, agents, consultants and independent contractors and
to provide added incentive to them by encouraging stock ownership in the        
Company.                                                                        

    In determining the size of individual restricted stock grants, the
Compensation Committee considers the aggregate number of shares available for   
grant, the number of individuals to be considered for an award of restricted    
stock, and the range of potential compensation levels that the restricted stock 
awards may yield. The number and timing of restricted stock grants to executive 
officers are decided by the Compensation Committee based on its subjective      
assessment of the performance of each grantee. In determining the size and      
timing of restricted stock awards, the Compensation Committee weighs any factors
it considers relevant and gives such factors the relative weight it considers   
appropriate under the circumstances then prevailing. While an ancillary goal of 
the Compensation Committee in awarding restricted stock is to increase the stock
ownership of the Company's management, the Compensation Committee does not, when
determining the amount of restricted stock to award, consider the amount of     
stock already owned by an officer. The Compensation Committee believes that to  
do so could have the effect of inappropriately or inequitably penalizing or     
rewarding executives based upon their personal decisions as to stock ownership  
and option exercises.

In 1993, the Internal Revenue Code was amended to limit the   
deductibility of certain compensation expenses in excess of $1 million. The     
Compensation Committee believes that the compensation paid by the Company in    
Fiscal 2002 will not result in any material loss of tax deductions for the      
Company.                                                                        

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer for 2002                            

     Daniel  H. Levy was  appointed  Chairman  of the Board and Chief  Executive
Officer of the Company on January 1, 2000.  Mr. Levy  entered  into a three-year
employment agreement to serve in such capacities. (See "Employment Agreements.")
Pursuant to this  agreement as amended,  Mr. Levy  received an annual  salary of
$850,000  for 2002.  Mr.  Levy has  chosen  not to  exercise  the cost of living
provision in his contract and the annual salary for Mr. Levy remains at $850,000
for 2003.

Director Fees                                                                   

         Each non-employee director of the Company receives a fee of $24,000 per
year for serving as director, as well as meeting and committee fees and         
reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his        
services. Effective January 1, 2002, outside Directors were eligible to         
participate in the Company's group health insurance plan with a Director        
participating in such plan reimbursing the Company for the full costs of        
premiums for coverage. Pursuant to the 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option  
Plan, each non-employee director is issued an option to purchase 3,750 shares of
Common Stock upon becoming a Director of the Company, and an option to purchase 
1,250 additional shares each successive year in which such director is          
re-elected to the Board of Directors. Such options are granted each year on the 
date of the Company's annual meeting at an exercise price equal to the closing  
sale price of the Common Stock. By their terms, Director's options are          
exercisable immediately after their grant. Directors who are also executive     
officers of the Company receive no additional compensation from the Company for 
services rendered in their capacity as Directors.

APPENDIX A                                                                      

 DONNKENNY, INC.
 AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Role and Independence                                                           

    The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board in
fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information
prepared by the Company for public dissemination as well as the systems of      
internal control and the accounting, auditing and reporting practices of the    
Company and such other duties as directed by the Board. The membership of the   
committee shall consist of at least three independent directors who are         
generally knowledgeable in finance and auditing matters, including at least one 
member who is a "financial expert," as defined by applicable regulations.       
Members shall be free of any relationship that would interfere with their       
individual exercise of independent judgment and must not receive any fees or    
compensation from the Company except for board and committee fees or            
compensation and reimbursement of reasonable expenses. The committee is expected
to maintain free and open communication (including private executive sessions at
least annually) with the independent accountants and management of the Company. 
In discharging this oversight role, the committee is empowered to investigate   
any matter brought to its attention, with full power to retain outside counsel  
or other experts for that purpose. This charter shall be reviewed and updated   
annually. The committee will evaluate its performance annually and will report  
thereon to the Board of Directors.                                              

Responsibilities                                                                

The audit committee's primary responsibilities include:       

-    The appointment  and oversight of the independent  accountants to audit the
     Company's  financial  statements and the fixing of their  compensation.  In
     doing so, the committee will consider the recommendations of management. In
     addition,  the committee  will discuss and consider the  auditor's  written
     affirmation  that the auditor is in fact  independent,  has registered with
     the Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board and will also discuss the
     nature and rigor of the audit process;  it will also receive and review all
     reports  from  the   independent   accountants  and  will  provide  to  the
     independent  accountant  full  access to the  committee  (and the Board) to
report on any and all appropriate matters.                            

-    The  review  of  financial   statements  and  periodic  filings  (including
     quarterly reports, which may be done by teleconference) with management and
     the independent  auditor.  It is anticipated that these reviews and related
     discussions will include quality of earnings,  significant items subject to
     estimate,  suitability of accounting  principles,  highly judgmental areas,
     audit  adjustments  whether or not recorded and such other inquiries as may
be appropriate.                                                       

-    Recommending  to  the  full  Board  the  inclusion  of the  annual  audited
financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K.      

-    The resolution of  disagreements  between  management  and the  independent
accountant regarding financial reporting.                             

-    Discussion with management and the auditor of the quality and adequacy of  
  the Company's internal controls as reported upon by management including
those related to its MIS System.                                      

-    Discussion  with management of the status of pending  litigation,  taxation
     and other areas of oversight of legal and compliance as may be appropriate.

-    Advance  approval of any non-audit  service  proposed to be provided by the
independent accountant.                                               

14

DEFA14A 16th Page of 17 TOC 1st Previous Next Bottom Just 16th

-    Maintaining a process for  confidential  anonymous  complaints and concerns
about the Company's accounting, internal controls or audit matters.   

-    Reporting  on audit  committee  activities  to the full Board and  issuance
annually of a summary report suitable for submission to stockholders. 

-    Review and approval of the  Company's  code of ethics for senior  financial
officers.                                                             

-    Reviewing  all  related  party  transactions  between  the  Company and its
Directors and Executive Officers for conflicts of interest issues.    

       It is expected that the audit committee will meet at least four times
per year.
