Michael Kors - Croisière 2014

Designer Michael Kors' blows us away each time he presents a new collection.

Kors’ resort 2014 collection brings to mind the’70s: Palm Springs, modern luxury with glamour.  The animal prints, leisure trousers and cut-out swimsuits we absolutely adore.

A varied color palette of black, white, suntan and bold aqua comes in a color-blocking effect. The retro influence gets a modern accent with lucite cuffs, sleek shoulder bags and visor-inspired sunglasses.

The resort season is also grounded in seventies inspired tailoring as seen by the collection’s printed caftans and wide-legged trousers.

 

Take a look at our top picks from Kors’ collection:

Sophisticated and trendsetting, Prada’s inspiring concept of uncompromised quality and constant innovation has endured from 1913, when Mario Prada, Miuccia Prada’s grandfather, opened a shop of luxury goods in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan. The search for rare and valuable materials and sophisticated manufacturing techniques is part of Prada’s DNA.

MICHAEL KORS

 

Mr. Kors began his career in fashion at the age of 19 designing and merchandising a collection for the renowned boutique Lothar’s in New York City. The success of these clothes caught the attention of the fashion press, prompting Kors to strike out on his own. In 1981 the Michael Kors label was formed; since his collection was established, it has never strayed from Kors’ initial vision of chic, luxurious American sportswear.
In 2001, Michael Kors launched accessories under his collection label. Today, the line includes a full range of women’s handbags, shoes, belts and eyewear. In 2002, the company launched a full scale men’s collection in response to the critical acclaim received by a capsule menswear line launched in 1997.
In 2004, Kors unveiled Michael Michael Kors, to an unprecedented launch in over 350 doors nationwide. The Michael Michael Kors label includes women’s ready to wear, swimwear and accessories including handbags, small leather goods, belts and shoes; as well as eyewear and timepieces for both men and women.    
Michael Kors Collection flagship boutiques are located throughout the United States in New York City, Long Island, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach and Chicago; international collection stores include Milan and London. In 2006 the company began an aggressive growth of accessory focused stores encompassing the world of Michael Kors. There are currently 60 stores in North America, as well as international locations including Munich, Seoul, and the Middle East. In early 2010, Michael Kors K.K. Was formed with plans for a major expansion throughout Japan.

DKNY

 

Runway Sun, Feb 10 2013

 

"Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul," says Donna Karan, chief designer of the international company that bears her name. "For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman, with all the complications, feelings and emotions."

In fact, Karan credits her feminine instincts for the success of the company she founded in 1984 with her late husband Stephan Weiss, which went on to become a publicly-traded enterprise in 1996, and then five years later, was acquired by its present owner, the French luxury conglomerate, LVMH , Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Says Karan, "That I’m a woman makes me want to nurture others, fulfill needs and solve problems. At the same time, the artist within me strives for beauty, both sensually and visually. So design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable."

How Karan meets that challenge can run from the simplicity of a bodysuit (where it all began) to the artisan glamour of a limited edition hand-painted devore dress. Whatever form the design takes, Karan will tell you it begins and ends with the body - its sensual expression, sense of security, and freedom of movement.

A modern system of dressing, Karan’s concept is based on seven easy pieces, where a handful of interchangeable items work together to create an entire wardrobe that goes from day to evening, week day to weekend, season to season. "I’m designing for an international man and woman. A creative person who never knows where a day is going to take them," says Karan. "That’s why New York is on the label. It sets the pace, the attitude."

Speaking in a multi-cultural language of fashion, Karan is inspired by the life and innate style of the artist. Quintessential hallmarks include black cashmere, leather, stretch and molded fabrics, often developed by Karan, as well as silhouettes that wrap and sculpt the body. For Karan, it’s never been just about clothes; It’s about life styles. She sees the entire picture from head-to-toe, from function to aesthetic. Handbags and shoes are designed right alongside the clothes. "How do I dress the leg?" inspired Donna Karan Hosiery. "The right bra?" Donna Karan Intimates. "The perfect glasses?" Donna Karan Eyewear. The list goes on to include belts, accessories and, as Karan puts it, Everything you need to pull yourself together."

Karan’s quest for the perfect jeans, as well as her desire to dress her daughter Gabby, resulted in the 1989 birth of DKNY . Fast fashion with an urban mind-set, DKNY is what Karan calls "the pizza to Collection’s caviar." DKNY grew so popular and diverse that other brands and labels spun from it, including DKNY Jeans, DKNY Active, DKNY Underwear, DKNY JEANS Juniors, AND DKNY Kids. (Not surprisingly, Karan’s grandkids and friends’ kids had much to do with the latter). Like Collection, DKNY has an accessories and shoe collection to underscore its New York City street-smart look.

Determined to seduce all the senses, Karan took on the world of beauty in 1992 under the business and creative leadership of her husband, who designed the bottles and jars for the signature fragrances and their ancillary products. The beauty division went on to introduce best-selling fragrances. Completing the lifestyle approach to design, in 2001 Karan introduced a Donna Karan Home collection "all about touch and feel," which includes everything from luxe bedding and candles to cashmere throws, and DKNY home, which accents interiors with fashion-forward bedding and accessories.

Donna Karan International has an excess of one hundred company-owned and licensed free standing Donna Karan collection, DKNY , AND DKNY JEANS stores worldwide. The first flagships opened in London - DKNY in 1994, and Collection two years later. 1999 marked the opening of the uptown New York City DKNY flagship store, located at 60th Street and Madison Avenue, and two years later, came the downtown DKNY flagship on West Broadway in SoHo. Bringing it back to where it all began, in 2001 Karan opened the Donna Karan New York flagship store, the premiere Collection showcase, at 819 Madison Avenue. Designed as "a serene escape from the city’s chaos," a dramatic indoor/outdoor river rock garden runs through the townhouse’s ground floor.

 

For Karan, it literally and creatively began in New York. She was born into fashion on Long Island. Not only was her father Gabby Faske (who died when Karan was three) a tailor, her mother Helen was a showroom model and fashion sales rep. Even Karan’s stepfather Harold Flaxman was in the fashion business. So it was only natural that Karan, while still in high school, designed her first collection and staged her first show.

Following her second year at Parson’s School of Design, Karan was hired by Anne Klein for a summer job . After three years as an associate designer, Karan was named successor following Klein’s death in 1974. Louis De ll’Olio , a Parson’s friend, joined her a year later. Together, they designed the Anne Klein Collection. In a foreshadow of DKNY , Karan created Anne Klein II in 1982, originating the concept of bridge and lifestyle dressing in fashion. After ten years of designing Anne Klein, Karan was ready to go out on her own with the support of Weiss and partner Takiyho, Inc. the owner of Anne Klein & Co. Fall 1985 saw the first Donna Karan New York Collection and the reaction from the press and retailers proved once again that Karan made fashion history.

Throughout her long career, Karan’s peers have acknowledged her achievements with numerous accolades. The Council of Fashion De signers of America has saluted her six times. In 2003, Karan was the first American designer to receive Fashion Group International’s "Superstar Award." A year later, Karan’s Alma Mater Parson’s gave her an honorary doctorate to commemorate her contribution to the school and fashion industry, and in 2007, Glamour magazine named Karan one of their Women of the Year. Using her company’s visibility and resources for social causes is a heartfelt priority. A member of CFDA ’s board of directors, Karan conceived and spearheaded its Seventh on Sale benefits to raise funds for AIDS awareness and education. Karan co-chairs the annual New York "Kids for Kids" events for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, as she has since its 1993 inception, as well as underwrites "Super Saturday," an annual designer flea market/barbeque founded with the late Liz Tilberis in 1998 to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. To facilitate her many on-going philanthropic involvements, in 1999, Karan and Weiss established the Karan Weiss Foundation.

Karan’s Urban Zen Initiative, founded in 2007, is the culmination of Karan's philanthropic efforts. explains Karan, "I have founded the Urban Zen Initiative to create a working structure for advancing wellness, preserving culture and empowering children. These are the causes that mean the world to me."

DONNA KARAN NEW YORK

SENSUAL, SOULFUL, SCULPTURAL

You can only be who you are...

"I am a New York woman, embracing the world.

Designing clothes that move day to night,

Monday to Sunday in any city, every culture.

My husband Stephan—his art and soul—is a part of me,

Inspiring and guiding me to sculpt the body with expression.

This collection is the evolution of Seven Easy Pieces,

A system where the body and spirit communicate

The sensuality and power of being a woman,

With multiple passions, constantly on the go.

The foundation is a jersey body—

a mix of matte, shine, sheer and skin— whether a bodysuit,

dress, skirt, jumpsuit, slouch jodphurs or leggings.

Then comes the new architectural elements:

Accessories that create endless possibilities,

to individualize, set the mood. THE CAPE —

liquid or structured—reveals and conceals

as a scarf over dress, jacket, pant or skirt.

THE COWL , CUFFS or VEST—curly or long tipped shearling—

add volume and glamour. Suit up with a bodyjacket

with contrast sculpted sleeves, in stretch corrugated felt,

tweeds, leather and suede; The perfect classic camel

in curvaceous neoprene/cashmere jackets and coats.

Finish with the ultimate topper, graphically pieced together—

a devore haircalf car coat. The curly shearling,

nylon and suede pieces worn separately

or combined into a truly knock–out look.

Everything unites with a textured urban palette—

Essential Black, every shade of Metal, earthy Bark and raw Rust.

Accessories are skin on skin: Sculpted leather body jewelry

sliced with silver or gold in cuffs, collars and belts.

Elbow length suede gloves. Iconic Evolution hosiery.

Pure suede platform shoes or over–the–knee wedge boots.

And a shearling handbag to carry your day.

Evening paints the body with artisan strokes—

From the simplicity of a jersey body that sculpts the form,

To the height of luxury in velvets, satins and sequins,

Each an individual force of artistry and seduction.

These are clothes for women like me—

Who live and work 24/7 with passion and dress with emotion.

I believe the body talks a language all its own.

Depending on your DNA , these clothes say something new

every time And create a statement all your own"

DONNA KARAN
