Urban Outfitters just announced that designer Daryl K will be doing a 7-piece collection for them later this month. The collection is priced between $59 and $139 and will feature "an animal-print Intarsia sweater, knit mesh sequin dress, burnout bomber jacket, faux leather skinny pants, raw hem tunic, silk shirt and a printed military jacket." We're going to assume that those are the skinnies, silk shirt, and bomber in the photo here.

In March of this year, Daryl K (it's short for Kerrigan) closed down her NYC store and said she was "taking a break from retail for the time being." Since then, her website has had a "News about where to buy Daryl K coming soon - watch this space" message posted on it. Does this collab with Urban mean that she's coming out of retirement for good, or is it just a fun one-off project?
