DKNY turns 30, channels the creative spirit of NYC

Fall 2019 marks the 30th birthday of DKNY and its innovative, genre-defining approach to style. Yet rather than look to the past, the brand’s seasonal campaign is rooted in the here and now, featuring powerful, graphic portraits of native New Yorkers Halsey and The Martinez Brothers, photographed by Amy Troost and styled by Carlos Nazario.

The Martinez Brothers have converted their high-fashion credibility into global DJ superstardom.

Self-made and self-assured, Halsey and The Martinez Brothers radiate their cool confidence, irreverent style, and pure talent in each image captured. Together, they embody the creativity that drives young people to the city.

In the campaign, Halsey and The Martinez Brothers sport the most directional pieces from the DKNY fall 2019 collection: checked suiting, raw denim, and leopard-print athleisure for her; fresh tailoring, classic outerwear, and easy essentials for him. 

With a stark black-and-white aesthetic accented by a bold red logo, the imagery references DKNY’s innovative heritage campaigns of the 1990s.

“DKNY is the spirit of New York. It’s diversity and drive. It’s hard work and a pinch of destiny. They say if a bee strays too far from its hive, it will die. DKNY keeps my home in my heart, and the magic in my mind. It’s an honor to be a part of their 30th birthday,” said Halsey.

Halsey’s punk sense of beauty and casual outspokenness has established her as a fearless voice of her generation.

The Martinez Brothers shared, “We were born and raised in the Bronx. We are blessed to have found our passion through music. It’s taken us to the far corners of the world, and along the way we have met so many people and have had the craziest adventures. At the end of it all though, New York is our home. It made us who we are and is with us always, wherever we may be. You can hear it in the music we play and how we talk, and see it in the way we dress. That’s why this partnership with DKNY is so natural and makes perfect sense for us. Excited to be a part of their family and continue to tell this New York story.”

During New York Fashion Week this September, DKNY will host a blockbuster 30th birthday party with a DJ set by The Martinez Brothers and a performance by Halsey.
