"I really appreciate the fact that we have all come together," said a newly mustachioed Michael Kors before his showroom presentation. "Let s be cheerleaders for all that New York has to offer, because this is the most amazing city in the world."
Kors positive outlook was evident in a concise collection that brought to mind the best of Halston, with an injection of movie-star glamour (his update on the giant tie-strap tote bag is destined to become a collectible). Alongside beachy getaway clothes, more sophisticated urban looks included chinoiserie-inspired red lacquer cardigans and sweatshirts, georgette halter dresses, and brush-stroke skirts (upon close inspection, some of the abstract prints proved to be expressionist MK logos). Evening took a turn for the dramatic with slinky bandeau columns and stunning black-and-gold embroidered tulle shells and shifts.
Kors practical yet lighthearted collection struck a chord that is likely to resonate throughout this season.
