Michael Kors' Brush Stroke of Genius

New York, Sep 21, 2001/FWD/ --- "I am proud to be part of this city and its fashion community. Let's be cheerleaders for everything New York
is about," Michael Kors told a select audience including high-powered editors Amy Spindler, Anna Wintour, Glenda
Bailey and Linda Wells, gathered today to see a mini-show in his New York showroom.
It was just what this city's fashion crowd needed. Among now-familiar distant siren noises, these reportedly due
to a fire in Times Square, fashion proved to be a soothing antidote to the gray reality. Kors treated his audience
to the season's sexiest, most luxurious clothes, proving he's the U.S. designer who best knows how to make women
look beautiful.
Crepe georgette shirts, sarong skirts and pants carried a brushstroke theme in black, white, opulent gold and
platinum -- some matte, some liquid, all sexy. Most beautiful was a fluid, feminine black-and-white brushstroke
silk skirt, worn with a small black ribbed top whose proportions were signature Kors.
Kors' georgette silk and jersey halter dresses had a marvelous swing and needed little accessorizing, aside from
killer heels and shades. They're certain to be bestsellers.
Model Bridget Hall looked sensational in a black mid-thigh cashmere tunic dress, worn with a rope and giant
silver rectangle belt - a look that's sure to become next spring's new little black dress for the toned and tony.
There were a few layered looks -- cashmere tanks, miniskirts or pants with mink jackets or rip-stop coats --
either in black and white or heavy golds. Sometimes they were unfortunately paired with plum, which recycled
a '80s sensibility so ornate, it was out of place.
But overall, Kors triumphed with cleverly combined fabrics and ideas, conveying the meaning of modern luxury.
