Michael Kors presented his fall/winter collection during New York Fashion Week, as models in wool coats and monochrome sweaters walked the runway carrying feathered handbags.
The show marked the brand's 45th anniversary. The launch also comes just over a week after Michael Kors' parent company, Capri Holdings, reported a 5,6 percent drop in sales for the brand in the holiday quarter, which it attributed to reduced promotions. Michael Kors accounts for more than 80 percent of the company's revenue.
Models, including Alex Consani and Christy Turlington, walked the steps of the Metropolitan Opera House, showcasing tailored suits, embroidered florals and cashmere sweater dresses, inspired by the idea of "no-nonsense chic in New York," as the designer whose brand bears his name put it.
New York is "harsh, tough, rough, rugged, and then around the corner it becomes glamorous, opulent and fantastic," designer Michael Kors told Reuters.
"I think the balance of those two sides... is something that has shaped my approach."
