DKNY Spring 2012: American Expressionist

NEW YORK, Sep 11, 2011/ — West Coast ease meets East Coast edge. In style that celebrates American art and culture. Geometry in motion, everything is designed for life on the move.

The palette is bold and fresh, Red, White and Blue. Mixed with moments of pink skies, sand and green grass. Patterns are vivid: digital flowers, splattered texture prints and abstract stripes. And shapes are decidedly graphic and fluid.

A modern mix of body–skimming softness and structure. It’s a system of spring layers to make your own
Start with The Step Dress, Shirt or Skirt (short in front; long in back.) Suit it with a contrasting coat or jacket.

Texture it with the new denim–edged tailoring. Sport it with the printed swimsuit, board short or lean jean. Shine it at night with a sexy sequined skirt. Or opt for the shift dress, newly paneled for movement, whether the fabric is tailored, fluid, sheer, or all three.

Add a soft, wide-brimmed hat, Grab a street–wallet or large tote with contrasting panels of prints and colors, and finish with the ankle–cuffed patterned platform wedge.

DKNY pays homage to America’s modern spirit— Always creative, expressive and free.
