Fashion Fame

Michael Kors had a clear vision for his new RTW Spring 2010 Collection. The key features of his collection were strategically placed pieces of colorless acrylic material, adding lightness and sex appeal to a season of “urbane renewal.”

The show was kicked off by Noah Mills and Carmen Kass. Carmen was wearing white leather shift dress with a zigzag of zippers down the front. A bleach-splatter fitted dress, silver crimple lame sheath and black “cage” dress with an abbreviated bodice and checkerboard of black patent leather as its back all looped back to Kors’ interest in graphics and architecture. Overall, he was more interested in sleeveless shift dresses, which is also a favorite of his most high-profile client of all, Michelle Obama.

The collection also had a softer side as well, best illustrated by painterly watercolor prints in lilac and seafoam that were used for silhouettes including walking shorts and an origami-folded skirt. Kors created surface interest elsewhere with zipper accents zigzagged around torso of a mint green asymmetric-neckline sheath, or with bold cutouts that exposed a flash of rib on a cocktail dress. Check out some favorites from this collection.
