Two and half months after Donna Karan’s departure from her namesake label, DKNY’s spring-summer 2016 collection was shown at New York Fashion Week under the creative direction of Public School designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne. Sticking with a color palette of black, white and grey, Chow and Osborne’s DKNY girl sported riffs off the suit jacket with pinstripes decorating everything from blazers to skirts and dresses.
The pair paid homage to the label’s founder by using images of a DKNY campaign from the 1990s photographed by Peter Lindbergh including Rosemary McGrotha and the city landscape. With boxy and loose-fitting shapes, these clothes are made for city dwellers.
