Michael Kors sunny, low-key Celine collection was full of what he does best: pretty, practical summer staples that make an easy transition from the beach to a poolside soiree.
Though Kors program notes talked about his Mediterranean inspiration, it was the graphic designs of 60s Scandinavian cult label Marimekko that was brought to mind by the designer s large avocado-and-paprika sunflower-print jackets, coats and skirts. Kors interspersed his flower-power looks with breezy crochet shells, crepe jersey tank dresses and multistripe canvas shorts and shirts; rounding things out were flat sandals and a roomy tote. For cocktail hour there were snappy turquoise-, amethyst- and silver-beaded dresses that looked just as relaxed as the daywear.
