DKNY will not be at any New York Fashion Week venues this season. According to the American press, the brand will not hold a runway show this February, but it will host appointments in its showroom.
 

The brand was initially on the NYFW schedule and was slated to present on February 15 at 2pm. In September, DKNY held its runway show on September 12 at The Highline, which happened to be Creative Directors Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne’s last show with the brand.
 
In December, Chow and Osborne stepped down as DKNY Creative Directors and Caroline Brown stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of DKI. Their departure followed G-III Apparel Group’s acquisition of the brand for $650 million.

Chow and Osborne announced in December that Public School will rejoin the NYFW calendar and will present on Sunday, February 12 at 11am. The duo moved their brand off of the schedule to better focus on each brand.
