| THE BE DELICIOUS KEITH HARING COLLECTION |
When art
meets fragrance (or Donna meets Keith) what do you get? DKNY’s new limited edition Be Delicious Keith
Haring Collection. This really is a fabulous collaboration where two New York brands have
collided to celebrate this pool of high energy, all-happening city.

Keith
Haring, although born in Pennsylvania, was inspired by New York street
culture and graffiti artists when he moved to the big apple in the eighties. Haring’s influencers were Dr Seuss and Walt
Disney, and you can see he took up on their simplistic cartoonic qualities, but
put a fresh spin on his own designs, making them fresher and edgier. But why
the collaboration? Donna Karan has said that she admired the artist upon first
seeing his works appear in a metro station in New York, and could relate to not only the
visuals but his messages via his art. Haring’s designs communicated birth, death,
sex and war messages that clearly portrayed an urban, youthful and original spirit.
Sadly,
Haring died at just 31 in 1990, but his art is just as relevant and socially conscious
today. Be Delicious. Be Artsy!
The DKNY
Art Woman and Men launches today at £34.

of Be Delicious Art Collection of Fresh Blossom, Golden Delicious and Be
Delicious launch in April priced at £36.
