Directing creativity…
Dao Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne (Creative Directors of DKNY) join Pavan Bahl (Open Source Fashion), Charles Beckwith
(American Fashion Podcast, Fashion Media Center [Episode 45]) and guest host Liz Bacelar (Founder of Decoded Fashion [Episode 38 ] on location at the 2015 Decoded Fashion New York Summit. A discussion of having a creative point of view, how Chow and Osborne have always stayed true to their roots, and how the love of NYC, a new way of dressing high and low and major cities have been incorporated into the ethos of their work, along with finding perfection in imperfection.
They talk about the goals of seeing ideas seamlessly integrating into everyday lives and practicality, what it is like to put a new mark on existing brand, cleaning out old content and branding and rebuilding, why they held a fashion show at the World Trade Center, and how much technology layering goes into the DKNY ethos, and wardrobe systems which help solve problems. Plus advice on how to distinguish yourself, the crucial nature of establishing a voice, drinking tea, and cutting through the noise.
