Michael Kors SS 2011

Mr. Kors must have been in a “sunshine state of mind” when putting the pieces together for this collection.

It would only seem right since he did win the CFDA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in June, his company is expected to break the $1 billion sales barrier this year, and then there are those persistent rumors that the Project Runway star is about to get a TV show of his own.  With a very optimistic collection, Kors featured lots of white, a daffodil tissue-cashmere tank dress popped with energy, as did the tunic dress with three-quarter sleeves that followed. The theme carried into lots of extra accessories, like large cross-body messenger bags and easy-on-the-feet platform wedges and flat sandals. Even evening was a casually cool affair. Kors’ draped silk jerseygowns in ultra-bright yellow and pink were more caftan on the beach than A-lister on the red carpet.
