NYFW: Michael Kors' Fall 2018 show was a love letter to his style muses

Updated

Michael Kors' Fall 2018 was a love letter to his favorite icons of personal style. How fitting for a Valentine's Day show. Set to a soundtrack of the hottest pop hits from the past 50 years -- from Julie Andrews' "My Favorite Things" to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" -- his latest creations didn't disappoint.

Binx Walton opened the show in a mismatched ensemble -- a tartan cape, floral dress and leopard-print booties. The rest of Kors' show was a hodgepodge of similar mismatched prints. Leopard, tartan, camo and floral prints, styled with each other in a way you wouldn't in your wildest dreams ever think to do.

Kors also debuted his first-ever collaboration, with British artist David Downton, whose stylish sketches have appeared in fashion magazines. A makeup-free Bella Hadid donned one of the creations, a strapless hourglass-style dress painted with portraits of women. The same designs also were featured on his totes.

No MK show is complete without a star-studded front row, and on Wednesday morning, his muses sat front and center. Blake Lively wore a red-hot patent leather princess coat while Zendaya wore a crimson-and-white viscose track jacket with matching trousers (a look that was also seen on a model).

Kors' Fall 2018 collection featured 75 looks, which is probably the largest he has ever presented at New York Fashion Week. There was a sense of practicality to his looks, which could be critiqued as too all over the place. But that's the thing -- Kors has made a living creating styles for every woman, and this Fall 2018 collection was no exception.
