I've noted in previous posts that the 90's are having a flashback moment and no where is this more true than the DKNY Fall 2013 show.
It makes sense that they are capitalizing on the Gen X comeback since that's when the brand really took off and became a part of the zeitgeist. They've also just reissued some of their original 90's classic designs in partnership with Opening Ceremony. Naturally, they are charging millennium prices (i.e. hellah expensive for stuff you can probably still find at the salvation army)
But the reality is, each of the DKNY look bites. Looking through the collection is like talking to a narcoleptic with a sleeping pill addiction. It just puts you to sleep.
Where's the grunge? Where's Marky Mark hip-hopping around in his low rise baggy jeans? Where's Ethan Hawke being pessimistic in the movie and in real life? Where's the wow?
YES
Avoid the DKNY collection. There's nothing new here. They should have left this in the 90's.
NO
Not even Donna herself can save this. Good thing she sold the line when she did. Make that money and leave like Julia Roberts in that classic love story about hookers with a heart of gold.
MAYBE
You can pull off this look if you get a discman and listen to Nirvana's greatest hits.
