There was a celebratory energy in the air at the DKNY Spring runway show, which officially marked the label s 25th anniversary, a.k.a. #DKNY25. Donna Karan and company took the occasion to revisit some of the line s greatest hits, ranging from streetwear staples (a focal point since the beginning) like sporty parkas, bodysuits, and track pants—all plastered with bold DKNY logos—to the slinky, low-backed "naked dress" made infamous by Carrie Bradshaw. Joan Smalls kicked things off in a pair of baggy, tapered denim overalls, paired with a crisp button-up and a menswear-inspired blazer, then topped with a swingy trench and baseball cap. The collection swiftly transitioned through a dozen or so distinct moments, including a series of cool bandanna-printed looks, pastel-colored tailoring, and fit-and-flare neoprene frocks. Then Karlie Kloss took the final turn in a fiery red bias-cut satin-backed crepe gown and a pair of wedge sneakers. Rita Ora, the current face of DKNY, ended things on a high note by dancing down the runway to "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)."
