In line with the feel of the entire collection, Michael Kors Fall bags are elegant and understated with subtle surprises that has me widening my eyes in intrigue. Keep the outlandish bold statement for other designers and stay true to your American “neo-classics”, Michael! Using only shapes and a splash of sparkle, the bag collection has purpose and personality, like the simple but totally cute black trapezoid lady’s bag, used as a wristlet on the runway. It is a cleaned up look without any fuss. And instead of a giant chainmail bag, he is using mesh on a clutch that gives the illusion of a beaded look without the stodginess.
While everyone covered their models in studs, Kors went for that same edge with zippers. The plain black clutch with an asymmetrically placed zipper maintains his ladylike aesthetic, is grown up appropriate but with a twinkle of rock’n roll fun. My favorite is the zipper satchel in texture leather. It will stave your craving for the full blown punk look without looking teeny boppy-ish.
