Michael Kors Collection | Spring 2017 Ready-to-Wear

(California by Rufus Wainwright)

I m still convinced that fashion can change your spirit,

lift your mood, and I think that when the world is

upside down, I kinda feel like the thing to do is

not punker down and get sad.

I wanna figure out a way to lift people s spirits.

The whole show was so beautiful and vibrant

and it was really edgy, some of the tailoring

and the loose pants and the prints and those floral dresses.

Everything, I just thought it was beautiful,

the most beautiful women, the music.

I m actually in shock because I don t think

I ve ever had so much fun at a show.

He s been a loyal supporter and follower

of my work for ages, and I was just saying to someone that

if he was some kinda two-bit, talentless designer,

I d do his show anyways because he s just been

such a sweet and lovely guy.

The fact that he s one of the great designers of our time

is kind of a perk.

In today s world, words like romance and romantic,

it s disappeared and it shouldn t.

But at the same time,

my customers want to feel empowered, provocative.

They want to be comfortable, they want it all. Why not?
