Day 8 at
New York Fashion week holds some very big, recognized names indeed with the
kings of the New York Fashion houses. Firstly, Michael Kors, who is probably on
every Park Avenue Princesses speed dial.
The
Michael Kors has been repositioning itself into as luxury proposition with
previous struggles with mostly outlet sales so what was the high end collection
like this fashion week. The show this year was very much inspired by retro
flower power, with many sixties silhouettes and bright colors and flowery
prints. It was definitely an attempt to brighten things up with a happy factor
after the tough times faced by the fashion house.
Accompanying
the show was a live performance by Rufus Wainwright.
The other
fashion house to present was none other than New York’s Ralph Lauren. The show
was literally a traffic stopper, as the house closed the stretch of Madison
Avenue outside the Upper East Side flagship store to use as it’s runway.
Another label to go to see-now-buy-now, the AW17 collection was shown. The
collection featured many references to western style, but with glitzed up sequined
numbers with plenty of embellishment and fringing.
