DKNY Fall 2011 RTW

i rarely anticipate anything exciting and new from Donna Karan's sportswear line because it's always the same (and honestly kind of boring). this time, however, i felt a little tingle and something pulling on my heartstrings. this Fall, there's a lot of cool-factor and sex appeal that reminds me of Brooklyn at its finest (pre-hipster era). what with the neon lights at the head of the runway, it only asks for a certain kind of mood. i particularly like it when moto-jackets aren't taken literally. in the end, it's still a black leather jacket that's been twice done before and more... but when it's manipulated it turns into something new. nice.

DKNY Spring 2011 campaign

DKNY, Spring 2011

American sportswear is my favorite. Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein. All of those designers, excluding Michael Kors, were a part of my childhood and my closet, and especially DKNY. One trend comeback that is noticeably obvious is wrapping your jacket around your waist. I haven't seen anyone do that since I was in grade school, and I'm undecided about it. The question isn't whether I like it or not, because I do. The question is if I can pull it off, because it might not work. Do I got enough swag? Hmm..
