Michael Kors Resort 2014

Michael Kors Resort 2014

Renowned, American, luxury, sportswear designer Michael Kors produced a thoroughly wearable collection this Resort 2014.

Safarian influences embedded into the Kors DNA were prevalent in ruling the runway once again and channelled Yves Saint Laurent's Veruschka archives.

The opening look consisted of a rich fudge, panelled trench coat worn nipped in at the waist by a desert python belt complete with matching reptilian, envelope clutch. Streamlined, tailored trousers reminiscent of the seventies were floor grazing, footwear was wholly invisible. A perspex neck collar featured gold hardware and perspex padlock. A bold accessory choice with the juxtaposition of minimalistic implications.

A butterscotch fudge, round neck, waxed leather shift dress featured centre zipper and gold chain lace up detail. Gold and perspex modern cuffs with enlarged padlocks dangled freely from models wrists. Fetishism references crept in. Two strap caramel leather wedge platform sandals completed the look.

Sleek, elongated, ocelot, flared trousers were teamed with camel silk shirting with black placket and collar. Colour blocking was evident on a white, tan and black mini camera satchel.

A contemporary, crisp white tux with ebony collar, welt pockets and piping on matching trousers was a sexy sophisticated addition worn buttoned at the navel replete with titillating deep v-neck plunge. The centerpiece accessory comprised of a wide band choker with horn and chain hanging precariously from the models neck.

An asymmetrical ocelot maillot with wild torso cut outs oozed of American sportswear references tinged with Italian high octane magnetism. This sleek runway look was married with bold chromatic cuffs with zen like qualities.

White lace made an appearance on various garments including lace scalloped shorts which peeked coquettishly underneath the hemline of an azalea pink, cocoon, sloping shouldered, funnel neck oversized knit featuring ribbed collar, cuffs and band. White lace trousers and extended shell top worn belted was a vivacious combination.

Colour blocking made an appearance on a azure, ebony and giraffe print panelled shift dress. The dress was structured with architectural references present. A turquoise, leather trench dress of a relaxed style offered a pop of colour oozing of nonchalant cool. 

Closing runway looks included a column, plunge, v-neck dress in tan, white and black, Kors signature colour palette. A leopard gathered halter neck maxi dress was picture perfect poolside enchantment. A billowy, diaphanous kaftan in subtle leopard print was floor sweeping and a great bohemian after five cover up option.

Eveningwear, red carpet style, included a one shoulder, asymmetrical floor length gown in sheer chiffon featuring embellished sequin pailettes cascading the dresses' entirety. An effervescent, round neck, long sleeve body skimming gown in glistening silver leopard adornment was the apotheosis of old world allure.
