DKNY (Donna Karan New York) emerged in the late 1980s as a younger, more accessible offshoot of Donna Karan’s luxury line. In the 1990s, it became a defining brand of urban style, especially among fashion-forward professionals and youth. Launched in 1989, DKNY captured the spirit of New York City streetwear mixed with polished minimalism.

Throughout the '90s, DKNY symbolized cool sophistication and the rise of “designer diffusion”—luxury brands making high fashion more wearable and affordable. The brand also expanded into DKNY Jeans, DKNY Men, and fragrances, cementing its place in pop culture and department stores alike.It helped define the decade’s mix of sporty-meets-chic, and was worn by celebrities and everyday fashionistas alike.
