*Transcript of the Video:*
[Denisa Palsha]: Hi, I’m Denisa Palsha, and we are at New York Fashion Week, Michael Kors collection, fall/winter 2023 runway show. Michael, congratulations on a beautiful fall/winter 23 collection. Tell me, what was your inspiration, and who were your muses?
[Michael Kors]: Well, you know, I started thinking about the moment in my life when I was so in love with fashion and decided I wanted to be a designer – back in the 1970s as a teenager. So, I kept thinking about all these remarkable women of that era who were strong, smart, and stylish. Tina Turner, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem – these women were changing the world, but they looked amazing doing it. So, it’s sort of my homage to that whole idea of bohemia but in a very urban, sleek, and sexy way.
[Denisa Palsha]: Fascinating! Could you share with us some of your favorite pieces from this collection and tell us about the silhouettes and colors?
[Michael Kors]: Of course! I absolutely love the idea of mixing proportions. The combination of a longer coat or jacket with something shorter, like a dress, skirt, or even shorts, creates this captivating contrast of concealment and revelation. It’s very sexy, and it adds a beautiful movement when you walk. Additionally, we’ve incorporated streamers into many of our skirts and dresses – when stationary, they look classic, but as you walk, they reveal their feminine and alluring side.
[Denisa Palsha]: Accessorizing is always key. Can you tell us about the accessories in this collection?
[Michael Kors]: Definitely! When we want to feel more casual, accessories play a crucial role in bringing an outfit to life. We have some fabulous Agate necklaces worn on silver chokers that look stunning against bare skin or over a sweater. Additionally, I’ve reissued this amazing belt from 2004, almost 20 years old now, which pays homage to Gloria Steinem. It has a modernist and hip style that is sexy and flattering, drawing attention to the waist and changing proportions.
[Denisa Palsha]: It’s incredible to see modern icons like Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson in your front row. How do you see the similarities between these women of the 1970s and today’s era?
[Michael Kors]: Today’s women, the women I dress, are true multitaskers. They juggle careers, travel, family – their lives are busy. Similarly, in the 1970s, women’s lives were becoming more complicated and busy. Comfort and movement in clothing became more important. Today’s icons like Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson are also busy women who want to look great while getting on with their lives.
[Denisa Palsha]: Lastly, what do you think every woman should have in her wardrobe from this collection?
[Michael Kors]: I am a firm believer in having a fabulous white or black jacket that can be worn year-round. It’s an investment piece that adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit, whether it’s thrown over an evening gown or paired with jeans. Personally, I prefer a slightly oversized jacket for that borrowed-from-your-boyfriend or borrowed-from-your-husband look. And remember, the world is looking at you, so check out your outfit in a three-way mirror – make sure those trousers look great!
[Denisa Palsha]: Thank you, Michael, for this incredible insight into your fall/winter collection. It’s been an honor!
