DKNY has got fresh blood! And blood doesn’t come any fresher than Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osbourne of high-end streetwear brand Public School, who have been appointed as creative directors of the brand. The dynamic design duo will oversee all collections, unveiling their first – womenswear – at September’s New York Fashion Week. “I started DKNY with the goal of creating a brand that captured the best of New York and could bring that great energy to the world,” DKNY founder Donna Karen commented. “It’s been an incredible journey. Now is the right moment for its evolution and I’m so excited for the new chapter of this company working together with this new creative team.” You’re excited, Donna, and we are too. Balls-tinglingly so.
