Michael Kors' Neo Classic

Kors riffed about "neo-classics,". Tailoring was a focus. Kors was at his strongest when he was thinking sleek: elongating, stretch gabardine cigarette trousers; a pantsuit almost as narrow as the chalk stripes on its charcoal flannel; double-face peacoats and balmacaans.

In a nod to the prevailing mood, Kors also thumbed his nose at the global gods of finance, whipping up shredded fox jackets and coats in acid green. Those may be pretty hard to rationalize on a need basis. But as this savvy designer knows, that will make a certain type of woman want one all the more.
