The New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 came well under way starting from September 9, 2010. All the major magazine editors as well as Hollywood A-listers flocked the Lincoln Center to witness the unveiling of the new collections from roughly 94 designers. The fashion industry and all fashion bloggers wrote and tweeted vigorously as the season’s hottest trends were presented and photographers and journalists busily snapped and took notes for each day’s documentation.
On the third day of NYFW, on what could be a global successful collection commercially, DKNY showed a strong and retail-friendly assortment of clothes. What piqued my interest was Donna Karan’s use of women’s scarves as accessories and part of her S/S 2011 showing.
As nymag.com’s review of the collection, it was “pure Times Square” and the use of women’s scarves meant that “we'd be touring the city in the company of an exchange student from Paris”. The silken square was called the DKNY Heritage scarf and the designer featured it “as a dress, a top, and naturally, as a scarf knotted into a neat band around the neck, its ends trailing down the back”.
Women’s scarves being featured in DKNY is an amazing feat since there have not been any other designer who have incorporated scarves in their respective collections. Anybody who is a scarf lover would absolutely salivate at the sight of those gorgeous women’s silk scarves being adorned and fashioned in almost every way imaginable. I myself am lusting over DKNY’s women’s scarves.
Women’s scarves are fit for any occasion. Having them featured in NYFW is a reminder that women’s scarves really are great accessories to complete any look. Congratulations to Donna Karan’s DKNY for having a gorgeous collection.
