Michael Kors Spring / Summer 2012
This collection had strong African influences.
Garments included khaki, tie dye, kimono cape with utilitarian short, oversized striped kaftan, belted leopard one piece swimwear, ivory crochet, tasseled asymmetrical poncho, red snakeskin, plunge neck shift and a strapless maxi in shades of muted khaki, tie dyed.
Safari and tribal accents were evident throughout.
This ethnic collection would work exceptionally well into the wardrobe of every jet setting young woman. Everyday staples included khaki cutaway tanks, tangerine cashmere sweaters, sumptuous suede mini with pocket detail in desert sand and the very luxe, python trench. There were plenty of ponchos and kaftans to throw over sexy, cut out, snakeskin maillots. For night time opt for the feather, tiered, maxi dress worn by Frida Gustavsson. Animal prints aren't going away anytime soon and this collection featured leopard print (small and large), zebra, tiger and snake.
Michael Kors accessories were statement making and made a strong impact on the runway. Covet worthy accessories included a burnt orange snakeskin choker, a toffee / ivory ponyskin over the shoulder satchel and snakeskin desert booties. Gladiator sandals added an edge to garments. Take note, this style of footwear is best left for long, lean, legs as the under the knee style shortens the leg dramatically. Belts featured attached mini purses at the hip which resembled a bumbag.Octagonal cuffs were stacked. Necklaces featured large, circular discs.
Overall this collection was eminently wearable.
