1 8 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I With Bohemian Rhapsody, Kors celebrates the free-spirited songwriters and music festivals of the 1970s. Crochet details, fringed trim and ethic- inspired embroideries lend concert- worth cool to this relaxed, refined capsule collection. In bright blues, rich reds, and clean whites, sweaters, skirts, tunics and tops exude a sophisticated, retro vibe. Textured raffia bags and smooth leather belts ground this laid- back but luxurious group with signature Kors appeal. Of course, it wouldn’t be a summer collection without some sun and surf. In Haute Hawaii, Kors brings modern, Hawaiian-inspired motifs to the forefront of this colourful and carefree collection. Bold, bright florals and classic stripes converge on boxy tops, button-down shirts and board shorts for a stylish, beach-bound sensibility. Sharp accents of turquoise and lime green are offset by tones of black, white and silver. Metallic grommets, shiny sequins and crystal embellishments punctuate the garments in this group with glamorous dimension. A highlight of the MICHAEL collection is undoubtedly the suede trench coat – a luxe top layer that creates a streamlined look presented in a sumptuous, khaki-coloured textile. We could easily see this becoming a staple of any woman’s wardrobe – it elevates the design of the classic trench to next- level chic, just the sort of thing that has made Michael Kors such a beloved designer. Accessories are another Kors signature, which brings us to the chic pieces for spring/summer 2015. A gold necklace crafted into in a nautical rope knot evokes the spirit of the sea, whilst retaining a feminine elegance. Classic Kors totes in textured leather, slouchy raffia shoulder bags, or the chic yet functional mini backpack inmango will make it easy to take your essentials with you anywhere. For dressier occasions, you’ll find Michael Kors’ trademark leather bags in a variety of sculptural shapes and bright colours. Or mix up your textures with a fabric-sided bag trimmed in sumptuous crocodile leather – an appealing play in contrasts that will take you from lunch al fresco at the marina to an evening under the summer stars. Top it all off with stylish aviator shades and the fantastic two-tone Cooper watch for an instant wardrobe upgrade, and you’re ready to go wherever your summer adventures may take you.
