Donner, the manufacturer of musical instruments favored by Gen-Z, teamed up with New York fashion label, Private Policy for their spring summer 2023 New York Fashion Week show. Shown at the iconic Firehouse, Engine Company 31 venue, models walked the runway with Donner's DST-400 Seeker Series Electric Guitars and its DST-152 Seeker Series Electric Guitars. The theme of the show centered around 'Peace & Love,' core values of both Donner and Private Policy.
Music and fashion collide
For Private Policy, fashion is intimately connected to music culture. Donner's participation in this show has the potential to bring the Private Policy theme around "Peace & Love" alive.
In addition to models walking the show, the NYFW event also featured Donner's musical instruments in a band setup, including the DJP-1000 Semi Hollow Jazz Guitar with vintage sunburn finish and the HUSH-I Silent Guitar with a revolutionary design.
Rocker sensibility
We are so honored to team with Private Policy on their NYFW show. Private Policy is a young, inventive and passionate brand, just like Donner, which made this partnership seamless.
Amber Xu, senior marketing manager for Donner
When we designed the collection, we had the rocker look in mind, effortless and full of attitude, and bringing that free spirit to our interpretation for today. Therefore, it’s perfect that we can partner with Donner and have not only electric guitars on the runway, but also a full band setup for guests to play. It will be a true music and fashion party.

Donner's participation in this show has the potential to bring the Private Policy theme of "Peace & Love" back to its roots.

With sustainability as the constant pursuit, we believe fashion is our outlet to express diversity, build community and inspire meaningful conversations.
