DKNY partners with Renfro Brands for hosiery collection

New York-based fashion brand DKNY has signed an exclusive partnership with Renfro Brands to develop future collections of socks and hosiery for both DKNY and DKNY Sport. The collaboration aims to capitalize on the growing trend of legwear as a key fashion accessory, particularly among Gen Z consumers who use socks and tights as stylistic elements in layering.

Renfro Brands, which produces legwear for brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren and New Balance, will serve as the exclusive licensee for men’s and women’s socks and hosiery. The debut collection is scheduled for release in autumn 2027.

Initial distribution will target selected department stores, specialty retailers, and e-commerce platforms across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and parts of Latin America and the Caribbean. Specific distribution details for Italy have not yet been announced.
