DKNY | Mural Design

The DKNY wall in New York is a celebrated icon of urban branding, located in the heart of SoHo at the intersection of Houston Street and Broadway. Designed in the 1990s, this mural became a lasting tribute to the vibrancy and energy of New York City. Adorning the wall is the bold DKNY logo set against a striking silhouette of the New York skyline, complete with landmarks like the Statue of Liberty.

This artwork isn’t just an advertisement; it’s a love letter to the city that defines the DKNY brand. Over the years, it has been carefully restored to preserve its brilliance, ensuring that it remains a focal point for both locals and visitors. A symbol of fashion, art, and culture, the DKNY wall continues to inspire and captivate, standing as a testament to the timeless allure of New York.

While the original mural no longer exists, its legacy endures through photographs and the subsequent art projects it inspired. For those interested in viewing images of the original DKNY wall, various online resources and archives feature photographs capturing its presence during its years as a New York City landmark.

In 2021, visionary artists and storytellers from across the globe were invited to craft bespoke masterpieces that reimagined the new logo in innovative and captivating ways. These creative endeavors explored the logo's timeless vertical configuration, its dynamic stacked alternative, or an inspired fusion of both. Each artwork celebrated individuality and artistic brilliance, transforming the logo into a canvas for bold expression and storytelling. Among the selected designs, one of them was mine, a moment of immense pride and validation for my creative journey.
