For Spring 2013, Michael Kors took on two distinct concepts: classic Americana style and iconic 60s mod. Seamlessly juxtaposing the two made for an upbeat and surprisingly unexpected collection.

With New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle playing, the show began with classic pieces consisting of clever colorblocked trousers for men and women, button down shirts in vibrant primary hues and sleek outerwear. Kors’ mod incorporated streamlined mini dresses and skirts, low slung belts and trench coats; which featured large metal belt buckles indicative of that time. 60s inspiration also shined from the oversized buttons and playful Lucite platforms. This offering couldn’t have been farther from his African safari-inspired lineup from last Spring. This time, there was a crisp and refined finish to the clothes. Kors had a little something for everyone, starting with a plethora of color choices: bright whites, punched up solids and eye catching prints.
