» 1We've been confused with DKNY ever since its eponymous designer, Donna Karan, stepped down from her brand three years ago. When Public School's duo of Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne were hired as the new creative directors in 2016, the brand moved toward a more edgy and fashion-forward feel. Their departure from DKNY means the collections now are less androgynous and also have less unconventional silhouettes. It's a safe bet that you'll find classics and basics for all occasions, now that all lines of the brand have come under one roof at EmQuartier for ease in mix-and-matching. Most importantly however, is how the price range of the clothes has been adjusted and it's now more approachable than ever. The top glamorous line, Donna Karan, will set you back 7,900 baht for an elegant dress, with many items ranging in the low five digits at most. For New York cool and modernity, DKNY delivers up unadorned solid staples that can take you from day to night, with items like shirts priced at 4,900 baht. Keep the DKNY Sport name on top of your list if you're in need of stylish, yet snug workout clothes. You'll be looking to spend in the 2,000-baht range for their sports bras and other pieces of activewear, discretely decorated with the DKNY logo. You'll only understand after you've touched it -- if you're looking for amazingly soft fabrics, their sweatpants and tees are some of the most comfortable we've seen in this market. Visit the flagship store at EmQuartier.
