Michael Kors Women

A lot of artists and fashion designers usually visit Paris regularly in the hopes of finding inspiration where fashion and art live and breathe. However, instead of doing just that, Michael Kors devoted his time getting formal training at the Fashion Institute of technology in New York and spent time analyzing and studying the real need of women when it comes to clothing. So instead of succumbing to the whimsy that most designers are prone to do, the Michael Kors clothing line offers minimalist and functional designs that best address the real need of the modern women.

He made quite a stir in the fashion world in early 90’s when he presented a whole new concept of sportswear tradition. Gone were the baggy and decrepit clothing, Michael Kors introduced gym clothing that would best flatter the woman’s body and stretch dresses in simple lines that are designed to best show off beautifully toned bodies. Adding a touch of sensuality in his collection, the Michael Kors women’s clothing line can be aptly described as the art of drawing attention to the figure beneath the clothes. While the designer has shown quite partiality to luxurious wool, stretch cottons and cashmere, leather is also an integral element in Michael Kors pants, skirts and jackets. One of his significant contributions in the world of fashion is in promoting the very idea that women don’t necessarily have to buy for a whole new wardrobe ensemble, a perfect choice of a piece of clothing or two in enough to enliven the rest of your existing clothes. This is why the Michael Kors women’s collection has been known to offer streamlined designs and harmony of fabric and color as evidenced in all of the separate pieces of clothing.

The famous designer has divulged that among a few of the designers he looks up to is Clair McCardell, who Kors admired for the timeless elegance of her designs as seen in many of the old magazines. Michael Kors have tried to emulate this approach by always coming up with design that are casual yet with the distinctive luxurious sensibility to it. In the 90’s, he was well ahead of his time at his designs fairly raised the eyebrows of some fashion critics. But in the early 2000 when the rest of the fashion scene finally caught up with his focus on elegance and simplicity, as a pioneer of the very concept, Michael Kors women’s collection naturally moved as the forefront in the industry.

Michael Kors currently designs two major lines; one under his label and the second one are for the famous French fashion house Celine. While both product lines have featured his unique touch and signature look, the two are equally distinct from the other. This is mainly because his Celine line is known to be more indulgent, his own line offers lower prices with sharper and definitely more efficient style. This move to work on to separate products have served him both well his he is largely credited for the revival of the Celine brand, and at the same time his work with the French fashion house infuse more freshness and crispiness in his own signature label.

While most fashion critics have appraised Michael Kors designs as bland and quite predictable and the fact that he never veers away from his concentration on casual luxury, there are also many people who praise him for resolutely sticking on the very essence of his designs. Kors claims that he believes that most of the practical consumers would rather stick to the timeless clothing pieces than spending more on short-lived fashion trends. That is why he constantly created separates that can be easily mixed and matched with all other clothing in your wardrobe.

So if you prefer to invest on practical clothing than splurge on overnight trends, then set your eyes on the classic pieces of Michael Kors collection.
