I feel like I am seeing Michael Kors everywhere this month! Not in person (that would be incredibly cool), but I've run into him in New York Magazine's Fall Fashion Issue, Vanity Fair, and I just watched an amazing documentary on him via Hulu. For years I thought
Michael Kors was just the cat-tastic foil to Tim Gunn's verbose teacher type. Though I loved him on Project Runway, I never really 'got' what he did. I had a complete light bulb moment this week when I realized there was nothing to get: Michael Kors makes wearable, classic, luxurious, all-American sportswear that flatters everyone....which is actually quite revolutionary. He is not mister costume or creative, nor does he jump on any trend bandwagon--which we all know causes those 'what was I thinking' fashion moments later in life. He knows his women, and he wants them to look jet-set classic whether they are in St. Tropez, St. Moritz, or St. Paul. Enjoy!
ps- love Michael's mom!
