DKNY Summer/Pre-Fall 2013: Beach to Street

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2013/ — New Yorkers keep their cool all summer long. They shift into neutral. Earn their stripes. DKNY ’s city–smart pieces breeze day to night, sand to sidewalk. Black and Stone stretch tailoring goes to work. Stripe it up like a beach umbrella—horizontal, vertical, bias, engineered—

In seamed pencils, flirts, racer knits, and shaped dresses. Take it sporty in perforated eyelet in black and white or fem in laser–cut silk dresses.

Go soft and easy in a crepe de chine short jumpsuit, shirtdress or a shirt tail skirt. And pack it up for the weekend in Bias–draped tunics, little T’s and beach–ready tank dresses.

For Summer, the color bar is high energy. Punch, Glow, Current, Electric Blue. Sexy cold shoulders, tanks, T’s, dresses jumpsuits, knits and sequins. Mix it, match it…a little, a lot… how much is up to you.

Pre-Fall comes back to the city with chic and ease. Black, white and every shade of Cement. Soften touches of blush, powder and chiffon. Add the glam of laminated lace. Body shaping architectural color blocking. Neutral layered animal prints edged in black.

One or two shouldered-jersey dresses go season to season. Leather inserts modernize stretch leggings and classic trenches. And the must-have – biker jacket rides it all into fall.

DKNY is New York City in the summer. All about the unexpected mix – feminine, masculine, black and white, graphic and fluid. With electric moments of color. It’s lifestyle dressing that stands up to the heat. Work to play, sand to pavement.
