MANILA, Philippines - Inspired by the Beat Generation, DKNY designs clothes for a true New Yorker—sweet and strong, pretty and tough, smart and street. The city palette is a tonal mix of matte, sheer and gloss in colors black, steel, moody blues, potion and crimson.
The silhouette is one of soft structure—rounded shoulders, a short flirty skirt with blackout legs and a leather bandeau belt. Leather rules in everything from sexy skirts, and molded jackets and coats. Suits have new weight in bonded tailoring with leather seams and bands.
Dresses openly flirt with front or back cutouts. Sheer/opaque tops reveal and conceal with sophistication. The new flippant skirt combines style and substance in bonded feminine fabrics like lace, crepe–de–chine, wallpaper florals, or animalia. Or play it straight with the stitched–crease trouser or a lean pencil skirt. Mohair knits and lush shearling sweaters keep it cozy.
Finish with a studded chunky platform heel in either an ankle–strap peep–toe pump or a tassled bootie: in haircalf, polished leather or embossed croc. Add a bandeau belt to accentuate the waist. Grab a metal hinge–clipped polished leather clutch or a haircalf portfolio and venture out day or night into the city and beyond with a creative rebellion of your own.
In the Philippines, DKNY is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Power Plant Mall Rockwell Center, Rustan’s Makati, 158 Designer’s Boulevard Alabang Town Center, and 158 Designer’s Boulevard Newport Mall.
