DKNY with a Dash of Celine

I didn’t like this collection. Newsboy caps, abstract colour blocking that looked like something from the 80’s but was rendered in shades of brown from the 70’s. There was a cool sleeveless jacket squared off at the shoulders and a brown suede jacket with chocolate leather sleeves.

This is the about the forth collection I’ve seen with leather trimmed coats and they can all thank Phoebe Philo who’s spring show featured the same trim. They can also thank her for the various shades of tan I’m seeing everywhere including DKNY. One look even felt a bit Balenciaga with the pleated skirts and abstract lines. The shoes were brogue platforms. The bags were mostly ugly, edged with zippers and had more abstract brown lines and squares.
