If there is one womenswear collection which has me counting down the days until NEXT autumn, it’s Michael Kors’ pre-fall line. The garcon trend has been a style staple for AW13 and it shows no signs of budging, with pre-fall collections featuring an updated take on the boy-meets-girl mood. With summer stretching into traditionally cooler months, and an incredibly mild winter so far, trans-seasonal collections are more relevant than ever, and Michael Kors’ is pure perfection.
Kors describes the collection as “sexy and slouchy at once”, and that it is. Outerwear is worn oversized, with double-breasted coats, blazers and gilets layered over sumptuous powder blue and light grey knits. The “sexy” he refers to is the sexy of the contemporary tomboy, the Alexa Chung or Clemence Posey, whose petite frames would be perfectly cocooned by these bloated cardigans and relaxed roll-necks. Menswear inspired contrast-collar shirts and luxurious silk pyjama tuxedo trousers give the collection sartorial flair, and although the fabrics are light and feminine, trousers are masculine and worn loose. Kors has experimented with accessories for pre-fall, debuting his first sneakers (crocodile) and an ornate collection of paisley, gem-encrusted brooches.
