DKNY PRESS BREAKFAST EVENT

Where: DKNY flagship store, Old Bond Street.
When: 20th October


Bright and early Wednesday morning I was invited to go along to the preview of DKNY's  new collections.  Not only were they revealing their Resort line, and Pre-Spring, but also a new look store.

Whether dressing for fun days, glam nights out or great escapes, DKNY has an eclectic mix of luxe classics and fantasy colours.  The collections included lots of gold, sequins, pleated tunic, leggy pants, leather trim suiting the list is endless and impressive.  There is knitwear for every climate, free falling cardigans and drama wraps.

Moving over to the Pre-Spring the art of detail is the word 'Du Jour', soft palettes such as ivory, ocean and asphalt in tweedy jackets, simple tunics, airy silk blouses, cargo skirts and slim trousers.  For the ultimate holiday escape clothing you have Pure DKNY with dreamy washes of paisley, prints, stripes and ruffles.

I found the morning very informative and the collections were beautiful with lots of accessories including watches, footwear, gloves, umbrellas and wellies.  The morning was a complete success and with it starting off at the coffee bar with light meals and pastries all made in-store by chef Thyago, it was the perfect way to start an autumn morning.

ART ATTACK & WOMEN FOR WOMEN INTERNATIONAL EVENT AT DKNY

When: 12 October
Where: DKNY, Flagship Store, Old Bond Street


Celebrities, the Fashion pack, notable figures of society were out in force on the 12th in support of such a worthy cause.  I will be totally honest I didn't/don't know  much about the Women For Women International charity,  but what I have learnt since attending  the event has made me feel privileged and blessed to have been able to attend.

What they do...

Women for Women International was founded by Zainab Salbi in the US in 1993 and the main goal is to work with women survivors of war and conflict to help them rebuild their lives and communities around them.   The key countries they work are Nigeria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.  With helping women to rebuild their lives they educate them and help to move them from the position of victim to survivor to active citizen, basically giving them back a voice and a voice that can be heard. Women participate in a one year programme that launches them on this journey back to active citizen, and identify services to support graduates of the programme as they continue to strive for a greater social, economic and political participation in their communities.
