Michael Kors New York Fashion Week 2018

Michael Kors went with their usual theme of classic with a trendy edge during this year’s New York Fashion Week.

The brand kept their usual feminine and soft silhouettes, but added exciting and interesting new twists.

One dress featured a classic strapless silhouette with a slight dip at the neckline and ruffles at the hips to add volume. This dress has been done a million times, but the pattern sets it apart.

The dress was covered in pen-drawn portraits of women. The black-on-white portraits were striking but what really popped were the bright red lips painted onto some of the mouths.

This striking detail set the classic, almost boring dress apart.

While most of the show featured dresses and skirts, one unusual outfit featured a plaid suit.

But not any plaid suit.

The pants were blue and green plaid, while the blazer was a rich red.

The plaid was paired with a mustard yellow sweater with a white statement collar.

While the color combination sounds like it would be awful, it worked.

With a brown purse and belt to tie the look together, and give it some balance, the entire thing was well-executed.

While you probably won’t be wearing the dress or the plaid ensemble to the office, they sure will make a statement.
