Daytime glamour? Indeed. For the boldly decorated piecesincluded fur patterned with flowers - a high-roller, hippie-de-luxeversion of Woodstock style.

But not too much.For every silvered, shimmering pair of trousers or dress shakingwith feathers, there would be a grey cable-knit sweater andmasculine check pants. I am not surprised that Michael Kors is a global success story,because his fashion vision is so uncomplicated. As a designer, hemay not try to re-invent the wheel, but if he did, he would justpolish up the metallic silver surface and maybe paint on a fewflowers.

Thisis what American fashion used to stand for: uncomplicated, stylishclothes with a judicious choice of colour palette and material. NewYork Fashion Week, so chaotically mis-handled with shows all overthe traffic-clogged city, could do with some more designers keepingthings nice and simple. (责任编辑:admin) |
