Fashion Week - DKNY


Who brings the drama like Donna Karan? She had two PETA protesters jump on stage during her show. Security was all over them & they even got cut out of the runway video. Their fame didn't even last 15 minutes. Too bad. They looked pretty eco-chic.

Anyways, on to the collection. Donna seemed to be trying to capture the essence on New York with this collection. The mix match of colors with the urban edginess is something New Yorkers see on a daily basis. Of course, her separates are as amazing as the full outfits. All & all, she did her 20th anniversary proud. And my favorite models of the moment, Chanel Iman & Jourdan Dunn, were there to help.

Likes: Her parachute dresses and skirts. The silhouettes and fits were amazing. She knows how woman want their body to look & makes it happen. I also enjoyed the sneaker high heels and the S&M looking chains the females wore. Accessories with a hint of street wear make any outfit pop. Donna worked it well.

Dislikes: Sometimes there was so much going on that you felt she didn't reign herself in. Yes, we like ideas. No, we don't want all of them in ONE outfit. I also hated the way the models wore those skinny scarves. It looked like they were all planning to hang themselves before the show & never go to it. Lastly, the shapes of some of her outfits were. . .interesitng. The point of playing with volume & proportions is to make a different outfit that is still SEXY. I think she missed that key point with some of these.

Smart: She played a video about New York before the show. Yes, you can have a cookie for that Donna. Good girl.

Rating: 8 out of 10. Her models rocked it & the heels were amazing. Oh, & the clothes were good.
