Donna Karan New York has always been defined by two enduring muses: the woman and the city. One shapes the other. Together, they embody a spirit that is at once powerful and effortless, timeless and unmistakably modern. The Fall 2026 campaign, photographed by Mert Alas, and starring Kendall Jenner, further strengthens this bond.<\/p>\n

For the first time since the brand\u2019s relaunch, the campaign unfolds across iconic New York City locations, where the city\u2019s energy, texture, and light become an extension of the collection itself.<\/p>\n
The visual style references a late 1980s Donna Karan campaign photographed by Dennis Piel, that featured Rosemary McGrotha \u2013 expressing her inner thoughts inside a limousine coming into New York. That film, which felt remarkably ahead of its time, inspires this latest concept, where Kendall imagines she has New York City entirely to herself.<\/p>\n
With the INXS track, Never Tear Us Apart, each scene is captured with cinematic richness. Appearing inside and outside the car, Kendall balances edge with glamour, revealing a femininity that is both direct and unmistakably Donna Karan. She describes what makes the city so compelling, for it is here that the possibilities seem limitless.<\/p>\n
