The Grace of Grace featuring DKNY
Punk was a rebellion against the man. Back to Noise is a label dedicated to rebellion against the status quo, the armed masses of boring clothes, and ageist fashion that so often leaves no alternative of 'young' and 'mature' (a.k.a. emotionless) garments.
During a time when there is still so very much to rebel against, (despite the optimistic outcome of recent American elections), ZOOZOOM celebrates Back to Noise, a collection that captures the past zeitgeist of post-punk and Grace Jones with long leathery strips, mesh tops, and python everything, yet maintains the elegance required for those of us in our post-angst years. Get hip to the resurgence of over-the-top eighties inspired fashion (with the much-needed subtlety that avoids the fate of cliche.) View fullscreen feature.
Abandon featuring DKNY
In ink, colored pencil and water colors, Alyson Fox evokes entire worlds. Fox's world is childlike, but precocious, playful, but dark. Through simple geometric shapes and nostalgic color palettes, she creates complex narratives. Her drawings linger in our minds, provoking us with effortless intuition, and inspiring us to inspire others. view fullscreen feature
Rebel Rebel featuring DKNY
Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can't even describe, aren't even aware of. - Ellen Goodman, American Journalist
The jacket you keep from ninth grade until your first days in the office, and the suit you wear from the first days out of school until you can't even remember your formative years: this is the stuff American sportswear is made of.
Fashion is about newness, about current energy, about rising technologies, and most of all about change; but like any designer will tell you, certain themes will carry from one season to the next, becoming staples that underlie an identity that isn't only about changing, but also about preserving core values: in this case practicality, American independence, and the role of female designers.view fullscreen feature

Light and Magic featuring DKNY
Dreamy black silhouettes backlit by fluorescent lights. Childlike sounds that somehow seem menacing. Two girls similar but not identical. Two boys tinkering with ancient instruments and shoegazer riffs. The color black everywhere. The "electronic rock" band Ladytron has a solid innocence underlined by darkness; somehow they portray angst sophisticatedly in their music and their look consistently. view fullscreen feature
The Bloomsbury Set featuring DKNY
Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.
So said Dorothy Parker, an admirer of the Bloomsbury Set. Of course today a pair Louboutin shoes is as much a necessity as a luxury! If you want to find a little London Bohemia try mixing patterns (stripes with flowers are a good choice), play with plenty of delicate layers and add a decadent abundance of jewelry.
In this story, as an added service we've provided stockist links so even if the stores are all closed you can still get the perfect Boho-Style. more...

The Unbearable Lightness of Spring featuring DKNY
Menswear Special
After two weeks of wall to wall, back to back coverage from New York Fashion Week we thought you might enjoy a little respite from leggy amazons in Fall fashion. Presenting the 'Unbearable Lightness of Spring' : there's something in the air for menswear this spring, something light and breezy that brings together the no frills pureness of a Jil Sander suit and the smart graphic print of a Pringle shirt. The result is clean, modern and unbearably light.
Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Jil Sander, Paul Smith, Pringle.
