Initial reaction:
New York native: models were joined by a select street cast gang including Angel Haze, A$AP Illz and Chelsea Leyland, as casted by Angus Munro and Noah Shelley for AM casting.
Set:
A massive LED screen, which as the show opened, played a film of the street cast models talking about what New York means to them.
Stand out looks:
The final laser-cut, floral lace dresses in sugar pink and grey, and an earlier liquid leather spaghetti strap dress with a dropped waist – worn with a black New York Yankee cap.
Unexpected details:
Sequins worn with sweat pants and puffer jackets – a classic DKNY interpretation of ‘street’ wear, put even more into context by the unique cast.
Left me wondering:
The hash tag for the show was #25yearsstrong, what will the next 25 years of DKNY bring?
