Blake Lively, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Issa Rae and Anna Wintour sat in the front row at the star-studded event held on the final day of New York Fashion Week.
The collection was all about dressing for a country getaway and unplugging from busy life with an equestrian feel, heavy on camels, grays and blacks with hits of red and orange. Everything was draped with a cape, hood or cozy cowl neck - even a chunky tan sweater was complemented with a matching sweater tied around the neck for extra snuggles.
The ubiquitous and often naked athleisure wear is “not sexy, it’s not alluring,” Kors said during a backstage interview with The Associated Press.
“I like casual clothes. We’re American. We invented it, but now we’ve got to reel it back.”
Several young stars also attended the show, including actresses Dove Cameron and Olivia Holt and singer Kelsea Ballerini.
“I love the menswear vibes. I’m very into suits at the moment,” said Cameron, who wore an oversized black striped suit jacket. “It’s so sexy. Everything he does is so tailored.”
Holt said it was her first time attending Kors’ show.
“I don’t spend a lot of time in the fashion world, so to be able to be here and take it all in and embrace it and soak it all up is a really special experience,” she told the AP.
The fall collection showed very little skin except for a handful of evening looks, which still kept with the relaxed chic vibe paired with sweaters, turtlenecks and capes. A long, gold pleated skirt was paired with a military jacket. A thick, alpaca fringed scarf was paired with a gunmetal sequined pleated dress.
Sharp tailoring gave slouchy trousers and riding pants an urban sense. Suede, leather and shearling outerwear was paired with fluid, pleated skirts and dresses.
Festive plaids, houndstooth and warm paisley prints studded the show. Everything was paired with boots - riding, over-the-knee wellies or stacked-heel city boots.
Rae, who changed into a spring green Kors dress with ruffled shoulders and a tie-front neck, described her fashion week as “crazy.”
“I just changed. I’m going to change after this for the next [show],” said the actress, who said it’s difficult finding a place to disrobe on the go.
“I’m not gonna change in the car. I know that,” she laughed.
