DKNY’s back-to-black manifesto struck at
the very core of the brand’s DNA for fall, particularly where city-ready
outerwear was concerned. The LBD—a wardrobe staple beloved of many a
young fun-loving urban creature—segues that message into resort quite
seamlessly, given that it is also the season to be merry. There were
several renditions of it in the new collection, including satin
charmeuse shifts with trompe l’oeil necklines and playful feathered
trimmings. And while those dresses offered a tried-and-tested way to
dazzle after dark, the most interesting party-starters in the bunch were
the ones that took that classic all-black look somewhere new, like a
lace tuxedo shorts suit or a pair of tailored wide-leg pants worn with a
sporty satin bomber. As for forays into color, the biggest splash came
in the form of abstracted fuchsia, scarlet, and black zebra print on a
thigh-skimming minidress that was reminiscent of a graphic eighties art
tableau.
