    Unauthorized use of Humans of New York photographs

    DKNY admitted that photographs by Brandon Stanton, creator of Humans of New York, had been displayed in one of its stores without permission. After Stanton criticized the use and asked DKNY to donate $100,000 to YMCA summer programs, the brand apologized and contributed $25,000. Stanton’s followers later raised the remaining amount toward his stated goal.
