Michael Kors' spring 2012 show at Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week revived African tribal prints

Michael Kors' spring 2012 show at Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week revived African tribal prints that were popular in the 90s, giving wearable pieces a modern twist with loose fits and a variety of materials.Most of the dresses and skirts were full length, but in no way did the covered-look seem matronly. Each piece had a subtly sexy slit up the side of low cut top that spelled sophistication. Kors also cleverly played on creating pattern paradoxes in the womens pieces.

For the upcoming season, orange may be the it-color for menswear, with Mr. Kors pulling off the color so well in his latest collections.What was particularly remarkable about the Michael Kors show was the mastery of colors, which followed a progression from brown-beige to michael kors yellow to orange to crimson and through olive greens and muted blacks, which made each garment's color seem important and individual from the other looks.A remix of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" was played with added violin and defined drum beats, as well as pounding beats that left the audience enthralled and attentive. The remix called the attention of the audience, while the quickening beat also created an anxious excitement, anticipating what the next look would be.Spotted front row: Rachel Zoe, Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field, stylist Robert Verdi, and actor Michael Douglas。
