In a place like New York City, perspective is everything. Pulling in travelers, workers, and dreamers from around the world, NYC is a hub of distinctive energy that thrives on diversity, innovation, and the constant ebb and flow of culture.
Born from the mind of one of the city’s most prominent designers, Donna Karan NY has New York built into its DNA. Tapping into the manifold of personalities found within the city’s limits, the heritage brand’s latest collection is an exploration of the individual identities that make up the Big Apple.
Entitled “For You,” the capsule reflects the contemporary urban luxury synonymous with the city’s core. From elevated faux leather dresses and polished varsity jackets to textural outerwear and satin suit silhouettes, this collection adds a practical yet formal element to staple items fit for the high-low stylings of the NY streets.
Embodying the character of DKNY’s latest line of garments, Amelia Gray and Christian Combs take center stage to lead a diverse ensemble that mirrors the carousel of personality archetypes often seen in the cultural epicenter of New York. Reflecting everyone from the SoHo Bros of Lower Manhattan to the Uptown Café Girlies, the faces of this new campaign represent aspects of fashion’s future, a shift towards an identity-based approach to sartorialism.
With added help from Abby Champion, Peter Dupont, Catarina Guedes, Alex Schlab, Hiandra Martinez, and Raph, each individual provides a different look into how anyone can connect with the city, conveying the versatility and attitude of the new collection.
Encapsulating the quintessential rush of New York, the campaign highlights the high-paced intentionality employed by its residents. Whether it's the day's vibrant energy or the night's intrigue, each moment presents a new opportunity to flaunt a different facet of personal fashion.
Giving birth to a myriad of new ideas and perspectives, New York is unlike any other place in the world. As the city’s spirit continues to evolve and reinvent itself, DKNY's Fall 2023 collection captures its unmistakable essence in a subtle yet refreshing way.
