The latest DKNY Opening Ceremony collaboration will feature 15 items that have all been taken from the depths of the label's past. Pieces that were put out between the years of 1991-1994 have been incorporated into the sale, bringing some of its debut ensembles back to the fore.
This time period represents the exact time in which DKNY first took off. One of the best aspects of the apparel displayed are its unisex qualities. The oversize sweaters, crop t-shirts and leotards can be worn by both men and women, speaking to their timeless qualities that are still relevant today.
Opening Ceremony's co-founder Carol Lim took on the project eagerly, "We have been longtime fans of the brand and were very excited to bring back select, quintessential styles that feel fresh even today."
