DKNY Celebrates 20th Year in NY Fashion Week with its 2009 Spring/Summer Collection

Donna Karan celebrated the 20th anniversary of her DKNY label with a collection as fresh and streetwise as the name suggests – Donna Karan New York.

The collection was paraded on a runway the colour of a New York taxi, against a montage of street scenes in the Big Apple, with the girls in a mix of the casual, but sexy pieces the brand has come to represent over the last two decades.



Low-slung baggy jeans were paired with printed bustier tops, slashed at the waist with a giant bow; strapless mini-dresses, in a navy and neon yellow print, were worn with matching cardigans or easy, bomber-style jackets, elasticized at hem and wrists; romper-shorts came with funky, broken-stripe T-shirts; and curvy T-dresses with anorak and cagoule-inspired jackets, bristling with utility details.

When the dresses were ‘dressy’, they were still as short as belts, but came in ‘Smoothie’ colours, lime stretch or tri-colour mixes of peach, black and cobalt. Key accessories were multi-coloured, stack-heeled trainers and fringed scarves.

The show’s finale featured a ‘crocodile’ of little ones, led by Karan’s five-year-old grand-daughter, Stefania, and a bevy of young models in vintage pieces from past DKNY collections.
