In the casual department, the designer offered crisp blouses, above the knee fitted skirts (a few of which were playfully accented with feathers), and loose-fitting, wide collared outerwear. Those looking for frocks to wear for their nights out on the town will find a selection of silk tops, strapless sweetheart dresses, and a pervasive shimmering gold motif.
While this season’s mix of cutesy and business, easy to wear separates and dresses offered nothing particularly out of the box from the American designer, the pieces stayed true to DKNY’s long-standing signature aesthetic, and will no doubt please her loyal customer base who tend to turn to her for reliable staples versus anything overtly trend-driven.
As for accessories, they have never been a strong point for DKNY, but for Resort in particular they disappointed.
The bags were forgettable in their unoriginal design, and at times even veered towards the frumpy with hardware that seemed dangerously close to being considered a knock-off of Ferragamo’s signature Omega.
