(16 Sep 2015) MICHAEL KORS GOES FOR AN EARTHY ELEGANCE MEANT TO CATCH A BREEZE
Elegance, the Michael Kors way for spring, doesn't mean kid gloves, boning and tight dresses.
The designer had a more "earthy elegance" on his mind for the feminine Michael Kors Collection - a more creative, artistic energy ala Georgia O'Keeffe and Elsa Peretti, the Italian model-turned-jewelry designer.
He sewed fluttery petaled flowers on dresses and offered sheer kicky pleats on dresses in classic red, blue, black and white. Wide black leather belts and grommets along skirts and hems provided strength.
"Think about things that were in fact very soft and romantic and feminine, but take them down to earth and make them work in a modern way. So ruffles, things that are slit and slashed that catch the breeze, things that unwrap. There's no short and tight in the show. It's all about things that move with the wind. And juxtapose all of that with sort of borrowed from the boys kind of tailoring that feels easy. So you know your trousers are kind of oversized and they just fold over and you strap them on, great. Your coat, we've ripped all the structure out and slashed it up the side. So you know when you're walking on a spring day your coat catches the breeze," Kors said in an interview.
It hasn't been an easy year for the lovable Kors. His competition is amped up, discounting is deep and his stock was down.
At New York Fashion Week, he likely took comfort in one of his favorite show venues, a long, white, sun-drenched space downtown.
Among his front row guests were actresses Naomi Watts and Olivia Wilde. And Kendall Jenner was among his walkers.
"I've always been a fan of the label. It's very modern. I love this outfit because it's modern and it's sort of edgy at the same time. It's great," Watts said.
Wilde grabbed one of the looks bound for the runway to wear herself, a loose red dress that sparkled and was outfitted with a white Peter Pan collar. It's just the thing for a working mom, she said. She gave birth to her first child, Otis, in April.
Sitting front row, Wilde said, is always fun, but a little stressful.
"I just focus the whole time on not tripping the models," she said. "Don't trip them! Don't trip them! It's a lot like sitting courtside at a basketball game, you just can't believe how tall they are."
