Karan offered her take on the cool girl's uniform: an inevitably layered amalgam of boyfriend jackets, sporty parachute dresses in black pieced with neon, anoraks in nylon and denim, striped tees, and little skirts. Everything was topped off with tangles of subversive chains, skinny scarves, and high-heeled sneakers.
But all the mix-and-match soon became fashion mayhem, with too many ideas on display. Pulled apart, though, there are certainly clothes that DKNY's ever-growing customer base will flock to. Karan has every reason to smile beamingly, as she did while receiving well-wishers afterward on the runway: Though she didn't invent the concept of fast fashion, she unflinchingly embraced it 20 years ago when it was still an untested infant of an idea.
