DKNY: For the 25th anniversary of DKNY, Donna Karan was back in a New York mood in a big way. Upon entering the space there was a giant DKNY sign done in graffiti. The show opened with the Beastie Boys’ “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” with Joan Smalls in a white button down worn underneath a pair of jean overalls with a navy blazer and white trench thrown over and topped off with a baseball cap. Other looks included nylon anoraks, bathing suits, backpacks, and dresses done in black and white bandana print. Plus! Plenty of vibrant neoprene on bomber jackets and swing dresses in hues like cobalt, cherry red, and aqua. And while there were denim jeans and jackets covered in sewn on patches and swimsuits worn with low slung track pants, the most overtly Brooklyn-esque and streetwise statements were pieces like a B&W matching sweatsuit worn with a white sheer anorak all completely branded with DKNY. If we weren’t already convinced by Alex Wang’s showing the day prior, branding is definitely back this season. Or, rather, it’s so passe that it’s cool again. What’s more Brooklyn than that? Also of note: Karlie Kloss closed the show, followed by Rita Ora, who skipped down the runway in a number that would have definitely been worn by Madonna, circa the 80s.

Things are in great shape over at dMondaine! The slimming lingerie brand, created by designer Kiana Anvaripour, is designed to enhance women’s curves rather than hide them, while smoothing out all those pesky lumps and bumps. The Summer 2013 collection introduces hot new colors and styles designed to be worn as sexy statement pieces on their own, as well as hidden beneath clothes. Anvaripour’s philosophy for dMondaine? Concealing those areas you’re less fond of, while accentuating the ones you j’adore, all the while staying fashionably chic. We like the way this girl thinks…and so do chic retailers like Barneys, Net-a-Porter, and more. Read on for the full stripdown!

The result? A frill-free collection designed to be worn on the streets, at the beach, and, of course, in the boudoir!
