(8 Sep 2013) KARAN’S DKNY CELEBRATES 25 YEARS YOUNG ON NY FASHION WEEK CATWALK
Twenty-five years in fashion is worth celebrating, and that’s what Donna Karan did on Sunday at New York Fashion Week at her DKNY show.
She was all smiles as she did her lap of the runway after her parade of flirty, colorful looks. She wasn’t afraid to pay homage to the late 1980s when this brand _ which is geared toward a younger woman with a smaller paycheck than Karan’s signature collection _ was launched. The soundtrack was courtesy of the Beastie Boys, Run DMC and Aerosmith, and the backdrop was done in graffiti, reminiscent of New York’s grittier time.
” I mean really it was a nod to twenty-five years of DKNY saying that it’s as good today as it was then. I think even better, I think it’s modern, I think that we were ahead of the time on a lot of things that we’ve done,” she said.
She showed flirty, flippy skirts now made of neoprene, slouchy trousers and even overalls. There was the updated version of “the naked dress” with its invisible straps and sexy bias cut that Carrie Bradshaw wore on “Sex and the City,” now worn by Karlie Kloss in red.
The models might have been wearing parachute fabric and nylon backpacks for the first time, and they looked as playful and fun as they did the first time around.
She offered lots of trenchcoats and parkas _ yes, these are spring clothes, but the fabrics were light _ that could make a few must-have lists.
Front row guests checking out the latest trends included Kelly Osbourne, Anthony Kiedis, Alexandra Daddarion and Holland Roden.
‘Fashion Police’ star Osbourne called Karan the ‘ultimate woman’s designer,’ and was all -set to interview her until asked what questions she had in mind.
“Good bloody question. I had everything in my head just then, then I went ‘oh God where are my notes,'” laughed Osbourne.
UK singer Rita Ora took a turn on the runway, too, presumably revving up the crowd for DKNY’s party on Monday, at which she’ll perform. It couldn’t be on this night, though, Karan has another collection to show.
