Blue Jeans,New York fashion week: Michael Kors takes wrong turn on safari style

Like that about "molto sexy" of Italian clothes designer*, homers vision of the ideal charwoman is impossibly Amazonian, impossibly wealthy, and so impossibly retrograde that altogether one could really do is park one's women's liberationist  skinny jeans for guys beliefs at the door and sit back and Army of the Righteous him claim, once again, that a bathing suit constitutes not a bathing suit unless it's cinched with a python belt out, topped with python straps and finished off with approximately stilettos or – for spring/summer 2012 – fixed gladiator sandals that strap all the way up one's personal trainer-toned calfskins. In the world of Michael Kors, a £15 bikini from asos.com simply acts not exist.
As well like Versace, while Kors may aim identical steadfastly at the Upper due east Side crowd (Kors, one mistrusts, does not hum  Blue jeans  word "socialite" as a dis but as a job title), he wholly reads the importance of mass appeal. Whilst more indisposed lived international the US – his utterly American luxe sportswear style appeals more to those who live between New York and California – he is a celebrity in his own country thanks to his high profile and vaguely self-parodic appearances as a judge on the TV show Project Runway. Of all the American designers, Kors is perhaps the one who best knows how to play the game.
Which made Wednesday's show something of a surprise.   gucci sale Kors has e'er constituted one of the few house decorator* who thinks about howdies customer first as different than what would look high-strung and credibility-enhancing in a fashion shoot.solely for a magazine fashion shoot in Africa, probably starring Angelina Jolie lounging decorously on a designer handbag while gazing soulfully at some noble tribesmen.
It's hard to imagine that

string bikini   even Kors's devoted and monied fans would spend triple figures on tie-dyed baggy This show was an abject lesson in the foolishness of imposing a "theme" on one's collection because, when Kors allowed himself to go out of Africa, the dress were great: a pair of slouchy trousers fitted perfectly around the bum but bagged elegantly around the legs, the long evening gowns at the end will be perfect for Jolie to wear to the Oscars. The rest was a little too Lonely Planet, which some of us left behind a decade ago.
