Rita Ora closes DKNY show in star-studded celebration of label's 25th anniversary
|
The fashion pack are not easy to surprise, but the appearance of Rita Ora closing the show at DKNY today did just that.
The singer, who recently replaced Cara Delevingne as the face of the label, strutted down the catwalk in a Nineties-inspired ensemble bearing the DKNY logo.
No stranger to the spotlight, she showed little trace of nerves - despite sharing the runway with the likes of Karlie Kloss and Chanel Iman - striking a series of poses as she walked.

Surprise appearance: Miss Ora followed Karlie Kloss, who many had assumed was the last look of the show
And her appearance certainly foxed some big industry names. Just prior to her stepping out, Karlie Kloss had walked the runway - as a major model name, many believed that to be the end of the show.
The CFDA tweeted: 'Pure gold. @karliekloss finale at @dkny #amazing #cfdanyfw [sic]'
And Fashionista.com had the same thought, tweeting: 'The one and only @karliekloss closing @dkny #dkny [sic]'

But then appeared Miss Ora and the Twittersphere was set alight once again.
Miss Ora was not the only famous face at the show, which boasted a front row including Kelly Osbourne, Anthony Kiedis and Bella Thorne.
Of course Donna Karan's diffusion line is always a hot ticket at New York Fashion Week - and this being the label's 25th anniversary made it all the more special.

The brand, which has always had streetwear vibe, upped the ante in honor of its birthday. Hoodies and baseball caps, overalls, statement sneakers, graffiti prints... there was not a Nineties theme that was not covered.
Even the slinky evening gowns, modeled by Karlie Kloss and Chanel Iman, had a minimalist Calvin Klein feel to them.
The DKNY logo was front and center on several of the looks - an indication of the logomania set to fill our closets next spring. Alexander Wang - another label that takes its lead from the Nineties also featured his brand name on multiple looks.
Sunshine-ready: Sneakers and visors lent a sporty feel to designs that were otherwise typical of DKNY
Nineties revival: Overalls, baseball caps, graffiti prints and embroidered denim were all part of DKNY's 25th anniversary collection
Lady of the hour: Designer Donna Karan receives a round of applause at the end of the show
