New York, NY – September 9, 2013 – Smack in the middle of fashion week and just one day after it debuted its 2014 collection, DKNY celebrated its 25th anniversary with an anything-but-ordinary birthday bash. The event featured a live performance by Rita Ora and a surprise guest set from Iggy Azalea, ASAP Rocky and A$AP Ferg. The party was packed with New York’s A-list, like Emmy Rossum, John Legend, Jared Leto, Chanel Iman and Karlie Kloss, to name just a few who helped toast Donna Karan’s quarter of a century in fashion. In a moment as epic as Ora closing the brand’s runway show, MC Kloss and Joan Smalls ushered out a giant NYC taxicab-shaped birthday cake while Ora and Melanie Fiona lead the crowd in a fashionable rendition of “Happy Birthday.” The party raged on until late, with guests fueled by Belvedere cocktails and tunes by DJ Sinatra and May Kwok. It was a moment as memorable as the neoprene dresses, denim options and trenches DKNY sent down the runway just the day before.
