I've only just today realised what DKNY stands for. You've all known forever haven't you?

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Had a real lightbulb moment, such that I stopped in my tracks and went 'oohhh, of course' :)

Donna Karan New York?

Yes I once had that moment too.

Btw red declious dkny is so lovely

Yup Bob :) What flavour is red DKNY then?

It's a perfume!

Oh . Told you I was clueless :)

Yes but I only knew properly when I was 25 ( long time ago!) and I worked with 2 young trendy girls who were mad keen on DKNY.

I had a dkny ski jacket when I was a whippersnapper . I was wearing it in a pub and someone asked me what dinky sky was .. We laughed ALOT.. !!

I knew but always see it as something to do with knitting.

You do know what 'nylon' stands for - don't you? ;)

Yep

Nylon? I don't know.

New York London

Really? Why those two cities, is that where they were first sold?

Think NY & London were the two cities where the fabric was first synthesised (not sure if that's the correct word )

And that Yves Saint Laurent really IS pronounced 'eeves saint lor-ent'

Well I be buggered I never knew that about nylon

Every day's a school day TwoSheets :) By the way, are you named after Juan TwoSheets?!

How have you been pronouncing it then elQuinto? :)

How else would you pronounce it?

Surely not 'Wives' eh el quinto

I don't think that's true about nylon tbh.Think its an urban myth (like Tesco being derived from Tesss Cohen) I just checked on Wikipedia and it was just made up with the on bit sounding like rayon and cotton

I never knew what gap stood for till I dressed my than baby ds in gap top and my sister sneered at me ...

Don't believe everything you read on here.

Not true - nylon was named by committee

Or on Wikipedia
