DKNY Tech has entered the skiwear market with its inaugural collection, tapping into the enduring stability of winter sports. Comprising 30 pieces, the collection includes body-contoured ski suits and flared ski pants treated with a water-repellent finish, all crafted with recycled fill.
A standout feature is the 'Beyond The Limits' print, which portrays a futuristic mountain scene inspired by the Northern Lights. Accessories such as snow boots, oversized ski masks, and eyewear complement the brand's commitment to delivering warmth and style over the colder seasons.
