DKNY Spring 2016 Show: The First From Public School's Dao-Yi Chow

The news that Donna Karan was leaving DKNY sent shock waves through the fashion world, with ears everywhere instantly perking up for news of who would take the top spot. Public School's Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne got the gig, and today, in downtown Manhattan, the duo presented their inaugural spring 2016 roundup. And lest anyone was worried, Karan herself seemed to approve—she was at the show too! A clean palette of white, black, and shades of charcoal ruled. While the styled-for-the-runway looks might not fly in the office, imagine removing the sheer socks and replacing the heavy shoes with stilettos. You could walk into almost any meeting on your work calendar thanks to the very grownup DNA. Also on display: a way to bring some '80s style into the workplace (finally!) The double-breasted jacket, cut to really elongate the figure, looked like the much chicer, shoulder-pad-less version of something Mom might have had in her closet, right? And pinstripe lovers, you're in luck! The skinny stripes look like they're going to come back in a big way. Want more Fashion Week? Come see the 10 most gorgeous gowns and dresses from Oscar de la Renta's spring 2016 show.
