Any fashion lover will know that Michael Kors clothing and accessories depict the essence of luxury. People love the brand because it has a simple and easy to wear style but remains in an exquisite class all of its own due to the carefully designed cut, materials and craftsmanship.
Michael Kors as an individual is always keen to step out and really be the face of the brand, making appearances on programmes such as Project Runway and is happy to provide his own opinion, expertise and recommendations on style. The recession has affected millions of people and has of course, had an impact on consumer’s ability to spend money on what would be considered luxury items. However, Kors believes that no matter what you spend on clothing and accessories, achieving great style is accomplished by the way you wear something and what you team it with and not necessarily by wearing top to toe designer pieces with a huge price tag.
Kors revealed his opinion that some people can look over the top if they laden themselves in designer garments and
the trick to keeping it refined and not like you are showing off is to balance the look. For example, if you wear with an injection of colour, keep the cut simple and streamlined and the same goes with adding jewellery – a bold Michael Kors watch will look equally as beautiful and effective if worn with a high street plain silhouette – the effect won’t look as striking if you team it with a complicated outfit and over the top jewellery as the ensemble then gets too clustered. Kors is renowned and loved for his simple and elegant style and believes that a must-know style rule is to balance so that you emphasise one point whether this be hair, clothing colour, jewellery or shoes.
The range of Michael Kors watches are the perfect accessory to apply to that rule and are definitely statement enough to wear as your main focal accessory. With exquisite gold toned and neutral colours and striking but gentle patterns, a Michael Kors watch defines elegance, sophistication and adds something unique to your look with a timeless appeal.
Here is a rundown of the latest Michael Kors watches-:
MK4127 – A stunning dual strand bracelet style watch with tortoiseshell patterned links and a sleek gold dial, the colour combination is very autumnal and will warm up the look of the skin and outfit.
MK5198 – A contemporary styled Michael Kors watch with a silver multi strand bracelet strap and baby pink dial, this is slightly more trend focused and youthful.
MK5195 – Similar to the watch above but entirely baby pink with silver detailing. Incredibly girly and contemporary in style but with that Michael Kors sophistication.
Michael Kors is consistently updating his collections to cater for new trends as well as retaining his individual and unique style. The watches are instantly recognisable as Michael Kors and the designer always gets it right because he has a great eye for style and knows what works. Great style doesn’t have to be an outfit of designer clothing and accessories – a few key pieces placed together in the right way make for effortless yet striking style and that is exactly what the addition of a Michael Kors watch achieves.
When you read about the history of many high profile fashion designers, you may often find that a career in the fashion industry was not what they originally intended to embark upon professionally. However for luxury designer Michael Kors, this was certainly not the case as his fashion was always an obvious career path due to him being brought up in a family of style addicts!
The designer who is from New York isn’t shy about admitting that most of his immediate family share his passion for fashion and that this was instilled in him from an early age. The designer’s mother was a fashion model and his grandmother was a school principal who he claims refused to wear the same outfit twice – a genuine fashionista! His grandmother’s husband was also in the textile industry. Being an only child meant that he was always taken on every shopping trip whereby he discovered a passion for beautiful fabrics, the art of how pieces of clothing are cut and how the perfect outfit or look can make a statement about an individual. Harbouring a skill and love of drawing, this is how Kors was able to put design thoughts down on paper from an early age.
A brand which is b
ecoming increasingly popular, Michael Kors has recently opened a new shop in New Bond Street, London and despite many retailers being forced to close or downsize during the recession, Michael Kors feels that his brand is one with longevity because it defies seasonal trends and has a classic look that can be worn for years. Michael Kors is renowned for his sense of elegance and femininity and his collection of watches are certainly expressive of that theme. Despite being on trend, they are not the type of watch that you would purchase to wear for only one or two seasons but are investment accessories that convey timeless sophistication and are instantly recognisable to the brand.
There is a wonderful new Michael Kors watch to look out for which is the MK4217. This beautifully feminine and striking watch features a dual strand bracelet strap with tortoiseshell pattern inlays – textures and prints are a typical feature of M
ichael Kors watches and add a sense of colour warmth and luxury.
In the current economic climate, it is certainly a struggle for many brands to keep people buying but Michael Kors is regarded as a lifestyle brand and has its own unique style that never fails to look elegant and chic and therefore people are willing to make the investment because they achieve high wearability for their money. The range of Michael Kors watches are exceptionally beautiful, incredibly detailed and finely crafted. With prices ranging between £70 and £270, the watches are a fantastic investment accessory that will look timelessly stylish and represent an item by a brand that is worn by the likes of only the most glamorous and elegant of ladies.
Tags:Michael Kors always maintained a strong passion for fashion and began designing clothes at the age of 19 whilst studying fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. In 1981, Kors launched his very first Michael Kors womenswear line at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue among a number of other stores and the collection was so progressively popular that Kors was named the first ever women’s ready-to-wear designer and in 1997 went on to became the Creative Director for the French fashion house Celine. Here, Kors proved his credibility as a designer and as an industry business professional who just seemed to have that natural strong instinct regarding what consumers wanted. Kors left Celine in October 2003 to concentrate on his own brand and launched his very first menswear line in 2002 and then proceeded to launch the Michael Kors runway collection, the MICHAEL Michael Kors and KORS Michael Kors lines in 2004. The MICHAEL line has a more casual yet wonderfully elegant approach to style and includes women’s handbags, shoes and accessories.
Numerous celebrities favour the exquisite Michael Kors style, these including Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Garner who wore a stunning Kors custom dress when presenting the Academy Awards in 2006. Many Kors dresses and garments have been featured in iconic films, such as Bandits whereby Cate Blanchett’s character wore a Michael Kors piece. Most recently the super stylish Michelle Obama wore a Michael Kors black
shift dress in the first official photographs taken after her husband was elected the new US President. The stars love the sophisticated yet simple glamour conveyed in Michael Kors attire and the brand has that element of luxury with a laid back, comfortable feel.
Watches are an incredibly strong part of the Michael Kors accessory collection and like the remainder of the products within the brand, are reflective of an exquisite sense of style, immense quality and fine craftsmanship. Michael Kors watches depict the essence of decadence and luxury and comprise of some fantastic on trend watches with key fashion features for this season as well as some more classic and elegant styles.
A style which is new for the forthcoming season is the Michael Kors MK5198 watch which has a funky stainless steel multi panelled bra
celet strap and a baby pink face. Delicate but edgy this ladies watch is perfect for a younger brand fan and is highly on trend but retains that Michael Kors refined sophistication. This design is also available with a pink polycarbonate strap for the ultimate girly accessory. The new MK2165 ladies watch also captures the leather strap watch trend with two bolts either side of the dial for a touch of a harder edginess. There is also a cute charm feature attached to the watch with the MK lettering logo which again, adds a high trend feminine element to the whole design. The MK2153 watch captures the chunky layered watch trend with a wide cuff style leather strap with layered buckle detailing. The elegance is maintained in the petite and minimal dial and this is an incredibly visually striking watch, still with that element of Michael Kors luxury. Other Michael Kors watches include distinctive features such as tortoiseshell bands – the MK4046 is a great example of this. Other defining features include shell fi
nish style patterns, super feminine chain bracelet styles and the incorporation of warm autumnal colours including fawns, browns and creams. These neutral soft colours enables the watches to suit a variety of skin tones, particularly if you are pale skinned and therefore find that some watches may look too harsh for your colouring. Michael Kors watches have achieved the perfect balance by remaining classic yet incorporating strong hints of current trends.
As a designer and business man, Michael Kors understands that to run a successful label with longevity, you have to maintain a unique brand style but inject contemporary edges to keep up with current trends. Celebrities adore the refined style of Michael Kors clothing and accessories and whilst his garments are perhaps a little out of reach for the average lady on the price scale, a Michael Kors watch will allow you to feel that sense of designer luxury in true A List style.
