First Lady favorite Michael Kors is going retro for Pre-Fall 2013 with cat eye sunglasses, cinched waists, and 1950s inspired silhouettes. The designer upped the femininity for the season with an emphasis on the female form in looks that are elegant, chic, and quite covered: the sexiest taste of flesh you get is a thigh-high slit, but the designs are so vibrant that you don’t need much more.
Textured skirt suits, fur collar three quarter-length sleeve coats, brightly colored fur stoles: the offerings are a vintage lover’s dream. The most modern the collection gets comes in the form of leather, whether it be a motorcycle jacket or zip-front pencil skirt. If you have disliked Fall’s smattering of white pumps, then Kors begs for you to reconsider: the pristine footwear are paired with everything from pink ankle-length trousers to red carpet-ready dresses.
Separates really rule the collection: high-waist pants, printed jackets reminiscent of Jackie O, a belted peplum top, and more. These pieces continue Kors’s commitment to wardrobe-building. The women who wear his clothes do everything from jetset to Paris to running Fortune 500 companies, thus their clothing must reflect that.
For the red carpet, there are a plethora of options for fans like First Lady Michelle Obama, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, and others. I’m hopelessly in love with the rose print top and ruffle skirt look!
Any looks catch your eye?

Michael’s been killing it the past couple seasons in particular! I’m really feeling the retro vibe! I need to have all of this in my wardrobe. ASAP. :-)

This feels like a Fall 2012 collection compared to what I’ve seen so far. But I’m so glad leather is coming back!!! Woot!

I love Michael Kors but this is all no. The colours are off to me.

There are some beautiful pieces here. The last two black dresses, made my pupils dilate. The styling is definitely 60s retro, but it can look matronly, which makes for a hmmm from me.

@ Lesleigh So true! I have a feeling we’ll be seeing this looks on the first lady. Even that leather jacket! I wish I could have one too. :)

I absolutely love Micheal Kors clothes! I always try to find a good deal on his clothes in Nordstrom Rack.
