This week I love ...

... the DKNY fall line.




YUM. One of each, please. Even the pieces that don't really ring my chimes look sumptuous and wearable in these perfectly styled photos.The fall line print ads include lots of vibrant greens mixed with heather grays - sadly not yet sold on the website - and ever since I first glimpsed those ads, I've been daydreaming of buying this line in its entirety.

See more of the DKNY fall line here.

As an aside, my first fashion faux pas relates to the venerable Donna and her wares. I was shopping at Marshall Fields (RIP) with my mom as a pre-teen and came across a tee emblazoned with this particular line's logo. I'd never seen it before, and, for some reason, "DKNY" didn't register as an acronym. So I picked it up and showed it to my mom.

"What's dick-knee?"

She nearly fell over laughing. We still call it dick-knee, too. But we mean it in the most affectionate way!

I'm LOVING that orange dress layered over the black long-sleeved tee.

I have issues with the French Connection t-shirts (FCUK). But "dick-nee" is much much funnier.

i'm in love with this collection, too, their campaigns are always styled just right. also, i thought O.P.I. nail polish was pronounced "oh-pee" for the longest time :)

This is too well put together to let it slide by... I am making myself a note to go back to this collection in a week, I have to try some of these.... this is inspirational, even if I cook myself in those tights....

R.I.P. Marshall Field's indeed....waaaaah. :-/

Ooh, the collection is really nice! I like the colour palette.

Similar thing with FCUK - my friends and I call it Facuck.

They have this line in Lucky's Sept issue, but in pink and kelly green with the greys. I LOVE it so much!

The only thing I've ever had from Donna Karan was a wool bodysuit in about 1990. Itchy!!!

metscan said...

Well done. Black tights all the way. And, from an European view-the prices are low, I´d you getting all of them ;)!

AsianCajuns said...

Hahahahaha! Dick-knee! Hahaha! You are a hoot, Sal! I will not be able to see DKNY without thinking that! Oh but they do have a tremendously awesome line! Ooo going with Oh Lady E's comment, I think a FCUK DKNY combo is in order.
ps- thanks for checking out our new blog home, Sal!!!

I'm getting really excited for fall, although I will miss all my summer dresses! These looks are fab.

Rosie Unknown said...

Ohh, pretty pretty clothing!

Hanako66 said...

haha!

I really like the new line too...so classic!

enc said...

hah! I wonder how many times Ms. Karan has heard that one!

Cindy said...

I have DKNY sunglasses, which my friend gleefully exclaimed, "You have DINKY glasses!" Dick-nee is just as funny, though.

Diana said...

The new line is beautiful and very classic.

But I think that every time I see DKNY now, I will think "dick-knee"

miss cavendish said...

I like thie year's DKNY too for the first time in a long time. I remember in the 1990s when it was well made and stylish, but it's been rather meh for the last 5-6 years or more . . .

Summer said...

Those are really gorgeous! And i can't blame anyone who want one from those outfits. =D

i thought "dick-nee" is my story! lol. the collection is yummy indeed.

Miss Peregrin said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was dick-knee at first, haha.

Anonymous said...

You just made my day with Dicknee. A perfect example of the silliness of logos.

Very nice collection though; I'm with Miss Cavendish in thinking the last few years have been a disappointment. Love the red and orange.

Loooooove the DKNY fall collection, too. Unfortunately the wrapped and/or gathered tops don't work well on big-busted figures. I adore the simple lines and gorgeous colors, though.
