THIS autumn, DKNY celebrates its 30th anniversary with a capsule collection in collaboration with the MTA, honouring the brand’s New York roots. As Manhattan is the heart of New York; the subways are its ‘veins’. They’re an essential, iconic part of the city’s DNA - pulsing with energy beneath the city streets and inspiring the exclusive print used throughout the capsule.
The MTA print is a monochromatic collage of street signage informed by famous subway stations and bike lanes. Iterations of the DKNY logo are hidden throughout the print alongside phrases such as ‘don’t knock New York’ and ‘all DK all NY’. The print aims to embody life in the ever-changing metropolis - bold, bustling, and a bit bewildering.
This 10-piece collection includes classic DKNY styles from shirt dresses and oversized anoraks to printed nylon joggers and hooded sweater dresses emblazoned with ‘no parking’ signs. Reminiscent of the label’s early years, the edgy silhouettes exemplify DKNY’s signature city style.
