Michael Kors F13; Undying love for the brave city

Although Hurricane Sandy hit New York pretty hard last October, Michael Kors was thankful for small blessings. Michael Kors stated himself in previous interviews that the Hurricane Sandy actually was a root of his inspiration for his Fall 2013 collection.

New York, a city like no other, holding its face so indomitably regardless of the hurricane, inspires how endurance could become the motive to our modern day clothes for women. Michael Kors blends this very concept with his effortlessly refined and sophisticated details for his F13 collection.  

The primal colors that strut the runway were royal blue, taxicab yellow and neon orange. All three colors that are fun to play around with, but also bring the vigilant side of his concept, for they are the eye-catching hues that stand out even in most dangerous situation. These colors shine up, represent hope and bring vitality. Protective gears like goggle and heavy duty outer wears with leather trims, and toggle closures lead to yet other strong details to the collection.

One of the hottest and alluring trends that could not be missed from the Fall 13 runways is the leather. The infatuation was everywhere! Many different varieties of cuts, forms and textures of leather were evident in every runway show, and bold trims and unique applications excited many leather fans like myself. It seemed apparent that the leather was an important component of Michael Kors collection this time around as well. Leather in various forms, shapes, cuts, and different finishes such as quilted and perforated pretty much struck a cord. 

Camouflage coats, faux furs and print-on-print suits are another riveting features and put us into the other side of the conceptual platform as if we are living our every day life in a jungle. Sometimes your brain dealing with stress and emotion effected by living among the crowds in a busy city yearns for that placid moment. A moment when you just want to hide, stay put and go on unnoticed. 

As the show comes to an end, casual and simple two-tone dresses ornate the runway. They bring on effectual and confident energy to the stage. A beautiful city full of bright lights and unending actions, is the city so strong and brave that would not be shaken even by the unexpected natural disaster. I got to hand it to Michael Kors for his undying love for the city, and delivering such tenacious energy to his Fall 2013 RTW collection.
