Michael Kors F/W 09

Michael Kors presents an all-American glamorous collection. Notable American designer Michael Kors gave us a luxurious dose of all American sportswear glamour for his fall collection. He always finds inspiration from films or always seems to have a theme for his collections but this time around he took his cue from reality. He presented clothes that were perfect for the Michael Kors clientele giving each piece a good injection of fine tailoring with a hint of sex appeal. He added a good quantity of the luxury aspect by throwing in lavish fur in the mix to kick the glamour factor to a whole new level. Adding to the main color scheme of black, gray, and tan fall colors he channeled the 1980’s to infuse a neon color scheme of shocking pink, caution orange and acid green. The neon colors were displayed in a shredded fox fur coat, knit scarves, furry hats and also in a few complete looks. The men’s pieces were very subtle with hints of neon displayed in scarves, ties and sweaters. The Michael Kors look is for any individual whether it is working in the corporate world or just simply walking down Fifth Avenue.

The show was held at the Bryant Park tents with soundtrack from the 1980’s British music talent Pet Shop Boys. Supermodel Carmen Kass opened the show in a black double breasted trench with storm-flaps paired with ankle boots and a bold gold chain choker. A perfect town and country look that would work for the new British clientele looking forward to shopping at London’s first new Michael Kors flagship store set to open in April on New Bond Street. The focus of the collection was on the elegance and tailoring of each piece giving it a luxurious undertone. Classic silhouettes were perceptible giving a nod to the 1980’s in pieces such as the pointed origami sleeves and the gabardine cigarette trousers that gave an illusion of an elongated look. The luxurious touches were seen in the black leather strapless seamed dress and the shredded fox fur coats.

The added accessories were luscious with the stunning gold chain chokers that injected a dose of opulence to each look. The scarves and ties that were offered in neon bright colors adjoined some enthusiasm into the men’s look. The furry hats that were offered in shocking pink, caution orange and acid green were incredible.

The whimsical neon colors put a smile on a lot of the audience’s face when they saw the shocking pink coat, acid green furry hat and a shocking orange sweater. The black leather and shocking pink strapless dresses were also favorite pieces that stood out in the collection. Each piece had great tailoring and good quality that could stand the test of time and last for many winter seasons.

Michael Kors has unquestionably satisfied the need for a luxurious all-American look with a hint from the 1980’s. Kors may not be avante garde or theatrical but he offers clothes that are practical and entirely ready to wear. The Michael Kors individual has a strong attitude ready to take on a distressed with luxurious style and maybe a fox fur coat. –Brent Billiman, New York City, USA.
