The Latin soul of Michael Kors

The soundtrack of the Michael Kors fashion show sounds like a Spanish lullaby which, on the notes of an acoustic guitar, celebrates songs of summer passion, the ones that bring back memories of hot evenings just by listening to them again. La isla bonita by Madonna, Light my fire by The Doors, Boléro by Ravel. All sounds that belong to a sensual imagery that Kors also brings to life in his silhouettes. Soft and enveloping, ready to move in waves of fringe, with a precise idea in mind. «I call it urban resort», Michael Kors himself explained to MFF. «It represents the best of two worlds, the luxury elegance of the city and the relaxed glamour you see in the best resorts».

Dressed up in exotic places and relaxed tones in the city. Tailoring and caftans. Sarong skirts and masculine jackets. Starting with that first white tailoring suit reminiscent of Michelle Pfeiffer in Miami in Scarface. «We have traveled a lot in the last six months. I have been everywhere, from France to Italy, from the Uk to California, from Chicago to the South Pacific», the designer continued. «The weather is crazy, it has gone crazy everywhere in the world and the rules are changing. A city like Milan, where in the past we thought the weather was milder, is now as hot as Los Angeles, while London is full of people wearing flip-flops. Therefore, every rule about what we thought was for a resort or a holiday has now become the starting point of what we wear in the city. On the contrary, when we go to Saint Tropez, Majorca or Capri, you see people dressed up».

The story of Capri Holdings moves inside a palette that starts out essential and gets bolder as it goes along, with flashes of passion red, poppy prints, ringing greens and flashes of gold for the evening. With jewelry and sculptural belts, with gladiator sandals for an uptown stroll. Masculine pants with a tank top. Incisive fringes even on jackets. Dresses with necklines sustained by jewelry. On a cast of women whose walk is recognizable before seeing their face, such as Carmen Kass, Natasha Poly and Karmen Pedaru.

Judgement. The venue moves like a mirror and exotic plant labyrinth and welcomes guests such as Anne Hathaway, Serena Williams, Alexandra Daddario and Vanessa Hudgens. The fashion show already appears prepared for their public appearance. Chic, elegant, sensual, sophisticated: a true warranty seal signed by Michael Kors. Celebrities are smiling, as is John Idol, who leads Capri holdings. (All rights reserved)
