Michael Kors: Confidence with a side of caution

If you're looking for a daring designer, Michael Kors is not your man. His designs are not envelope pushing, avant garde, or particularly inspired. He's safe. But at his recent Spring ’11 runway show, Kors proved that airing on the side of caution isn’t always such a bad thing.

Something has to be said for those willing to show restraint during the design process. It seems as if some designers use each season as an opportunity to show off their creative genius with overly self-indulgent clothes that are impossible to wear just for the sake of it. Michael Kors', however, refreshingly does the opposite. Rather than design clothes that speak as a testament to his creative genius, he confidently controls his talent and has become on of the most successful people in the industry as a result. He makes clothes that are meant to be lived in and not just gazed upon and his recent runway show was no exception. It is a solid and cohesive collection with pieces that could fit into any wardrobe. His bold color pallet is unexpectedly versatile and all of his looks embody the American classicism that Kors is known for. With his show being one of the most praised of the season, Michael Kors proves that wearable fashion doesn’t have to be an oxymoron.

Spotted at the Spotted Pig


New York Fashion Week is in full swing and with that comes celebrity spotting. And last night at the Spotted Pig was no exception. It was there that I spied one of my current fashion favorites, Alexa Chung.


Alexa Chung is The Moment's fashion darling. Her ability to use her innate Tom Boy awkwardness to her advantage and pull off an ironically girly charm is something worthy of imitation and envy. In fact, Alexa's unexpected style juxtaposition of masculine/feminine is so inspiring that Mulberry even has an Alexa bag to honor this muse.

However, Miss Chung lends more than just her name to her collection for Madewell. Boasting high-cropped shorts and blouses that are sure to attract a lustful gaze, her designs prove that this style savant is more than just a pretty face with a quirky wardrobe and a British accent, but also a well rounded addition to the Indie style scene.
