Having just launched a collaboration with Opening Ceremony featuring reissues of early Nineties DKNY hits, Donna Karan returned to that period for fall, but this time through a hip-hop lens. Terrific oversize parkas and sweatshirts were featured, as well as fun animal prints that brought to mind the work of Stephen Sprouse. Karan also added large rounded shoulders to her silhouettes, particularly on structured minidresses and tops that combined multiple fabrics including Neoprene. But the few evening looks here — long, flowing dresses over skinny pants — felt out of synch with the rest of her strong sportswear lineup.
