Judging the Judges: Michael Kors Fall 2008 Collection

The Duchess, of course, showed his collection last week in Bryant Park and we, of course, have opinions.

But not particularly strong ones. It is, as always, a solid collection of classic looks from Miss Kors. Showcasing what he calls "simple glamour," the collection hearkens back to Hitchcock movie vixens in floral day dresses or pencil skirts and Mad Men-esque Camelot-era ad execs with skinny pants and fedoras, all rendered in purples and yellows and neutrals. He's basically making his mother's old clothes. He claims there's a little of Amy Winehouse in there but frankly, we don't see it.

It's a little more lush and upscale-looking than normal but for the most part it is as it always was with Michael. He's not reinventing the wheel but he does make the wheel look pretty good.
