Michael Kors Aims For Futuristic-Sexy
If basic shift dresses seem a little boring, then perhaps you might be interested in Michael Kors' version for spring: a standard cut made complicated with slashes of fabric missing and perspex panels showing some skin.
The colour palette at Kors' runway show today in New York was simple (white, black, your basic pastels), but the models' clothes could hardly blend into the background. Of course, the designer introduced new versions of his usual pretty cocktail dresses, but the more notice-me versions were those that made panels of fabric appear to float on those wearing them. Try that technique on jumper-and-skirt combos, and you have 'Bonnie and Clyde' meets 'The Jetsons'.
Going futuristic isn't exactly what we'd expect from Kors, but it's interesting for sure. What do you think of his new route?

Yigal Azrouel Says Cut It Out
Be ready to show some skin if you plan on picking up pieces from New York-based designer Yigal Azrouel's Spring 2010 collection. The 37-year-old designer - and let's not forget, a heavily drooled-over fashion-industry sex symbol - turned out dresses, tops and swimwear "slashed with scalpel precision" on the runway. We give Azrouel props for making us believe that orange actually can be cool.
