This is the first time I'm actually writing my fashion critique in this blog. I did two in my multiply account and it for Elie Saab and Gucci. Now I'm gracing this blog with my fashion thingie, and who better to start with? One of Project Runway's Judge, Fashion Designer Michael Kors.
Michael Kor's collection has been known as a no-brainer chic type of clothing, very simple, very wearable, by no means deprived of sophistication and class. For this season he sought inspiration from Amy Winehouse and Alfred Hitchcock. Two different personalities, the other prefers blonde women, the other one doning a black beehive-like hairdo, how he managed to connect it? He didn't.
Instead, he presented sheaths in lilac and olive floral, balmacaans and camel suits with longer and narrower skirt. There were sable coats on top of cashmere sweaters and cropped ocelot-print pants, slipped minked stoles over tweedy jackets and glen plaid skirts with frame bags in their elbows' crooks. What happened to the sporty and sexy Michael Kors woman? She's still there, did I mention this is a Fall collection? Cocktail hour, Michael had strapless dress in gold matelasse to a silvery frock embellished with bow. The Oscars? Column gowns with Watteau backs.
Overall, the reason I liked this collection was because of the lavender and olive hues. They're fantastic especially during the cold season. This collection carries in it the previous season of pastel hues albeit in a not so vibrant way. Never the designer who sends down looks on the runway that are costumey, chic clothing is next to Michael Kors.
