NEW YORK — As models hit their stride down the runway at the fall 2016 Michael Kors show Wednesday morning, Motown played in the background and a distinctly 1960s pop-art frivolity floated into the room. Happy fashion!
Ostrich feathers sprouted from comfy indigo jeans; mink jackets were dyed baby blue and popped with white flowers; shirt dresses sparkled with tiny beaded flowers and giant-framed sunglasses called to mind the swinging ’60s.
None of this visual candy comes cheap. This was Kors’ flagship collection, not the more accessibly priced secondary line. But luxury — mink, cashmere, fox — doesn’t have to be serious. It doesn’t have to be quiet. It can be the centerpiece of a woman’s own little fashion party.
Starting with the sunglasses and ending with gold glitter pumps, the collection exuded fun and the personal pleasure to be found in a beautiful object.
