Add a bold pop of color and texture to your vintage wardrobe with this rare 1990s DKNY beaded knit vest by Donna Karan New York. Bursting with vibrant hues—fiery red, canary yellow, jade green, cobalt blue, and magenta—this statement piece showcases an intricately woven tapestry of geometric and abstract patterns reminiscent of Coogi-style knits. Made in Hong Kong from 56% cotton, 34% rayon and 10% acrylic, the vest features dimensional hand-beaded detailing, a flattering V-neckline, and a full front button closure with white buttons. Finished with ribbed red trim for structure, it’s a wearable piece of art from DKNY’s playful, expressive ’90s era.
Styling Tips: Pair this vest with high-waisted denim and a crisp white tee for a downtown-cool vibe, or layer it over a silk slip dress for a bold contrast of textures. It also works beautifully over a fitted turtleneck for a retro-inspired, seasonally layered look.
