It’s no secret that fur was major on the runways at this year’s Fall/Winter
2015 NYFW. Fur was in the collections of many top designers (paging Dennis
Basso), and of course Michael Kors. His fur collection has never looked so
divine, and Kors is really working on improving his fur collections, which
will hit stores in a few months. He is taken fur to detailed levels that it
never has been before.
Kors helped make fur fresh and hip again with coats shaped and fitted at
the waist with fox fur collars. The designer, who some have criticized for
being stale and predictable, has found a fresh new niche with something
that is making a long awaited comeback. Some of his other fur offerings
include a peacoat shaped in navy mink, and a red fox jacket.
He did something with Iris mink that only he could ever do, he gave it an
oversized collar and flared back. That sounds like something straight out
of the Neiman Marcus Christmas fantasy catalog. Kors was never one for
making luxury ordinary, as this fur collection reminded us that the
designer always has something up his sleeve.
Kors spent 20 years working with fur having worked with Pologeorgis Furs
for that entire time, and he has certainly learned plenty. Th crown gem to
this fur offerings would have to be his Barguzin Russian sable coat with a
notched collar. For the finest of furs the extravagance had to come along
with the details, and no level of glamour was spared for this whole fur
collection. Winter is looking mighty fashionable and nice already, and
Michael Kors should be thanked for that.
