Who's feeling Michael Kors fall 2013/14?

Over the past fashion seasons, Michael Kors has stood out of the New York pack of designers. His sporty, feminine, sexy and overall just clean cut clothes are certainly a highlight of New York fashion week, and his fall 2013 collection was no different. I would categorise Kors as a strong designer. He has an image, something every design house should possess. His women are confident, smart and extremely stylish with an air of New York swagger. He continually delivers exciting shows. Who knew for his spring 2014 collection he'd go all girly on us? He's different - mixing youthful minimalism with print, sparkle and intricate tailoring, suiting his fashion conscious customer perfectly. And of course, his bags are drop dead gorgeous!

Anyway, for this season Kors was feeling athletic, bright and bold, sending out a stream of elegant models in highly energetic pieces. First of all, almost every model wore big, round sunglasses which looked part Russian spy/ part snowboarder. Nevertheless, they looked cool! Karmen Pedaru opened the show with a hunky male companion. And then came the coats.... Cobalt blue, yellow, black tailored in a very musculine silhouette. The 'man coat' as I like to call it, took centre stage at the Kors catwalk in an array of sizes and textures. Jackets too looked very futuristic in bold primary colours with padded shoulders. Cara Delevingne's blue jacket with black, zip detailing was a favourite of mine which she wore with black knee length trousers.

Skirts were also big news in this collection. Mini, knee high and floaty: we had skirts in every shape and colour. The dresses which closed the show were absolutely divine too. Black with a flash of colour, these dresses flounced out dramatically at the waist and floated beautifully behind the models as they strutted their stuff. A little flamenco and a little Spanish, these were sporty dresses with a feminine and dramatic twist. Karlie Kloss closed the show in a sparkly number, silver and black, with a Dior look about it. It was classic Kors style, simple yet effective and very Michelle Williams at the Oscars.

Overall, a wonderful show, full of style, sophistication and bold colours. If you buy anything this season make sure that it's a coat, according to Michael Kors - a big one, with a masculine influence to be exact. And be bright this winter. Don't be afraid to wear a bold red jacket on a cold, rainy Monday. Just go for it, as there are no rules in fashion...
