All Neon Like at Michael Kors Fall: Love It or Hate It?

All Neon Like at Michael Kors Fall: Love It or Hate It?

February 18, 2009

by POPSUGAR Fashion 29

Designers were expected to go one of two routes for Fall; smart, wearable clothes or fantasy, inspirational clothes. I have seen a lot of the first group, and the European shows will probably be the ones giving us the latter. Michael Kors managed to deliver both. His collection has '80s power-dressing undertones, like a lot of others this season, but it was restrained, except for his in-your-face neons. He showed great basic blacks and dresses, but paired them with outrageous neon fur, hats, and knits. I love me some neon — especially in the dead of Winter — so I'm on the Kors train. Are you all neon like?

I like the use of bright colors, it cheers you up.

I kind of even want one of those hats I love it so much!

In small increments to spice up an outfit sure but a whole outfit? No.

Not too fond of the hat or coat, but the rest, paired with something less...zazzy...would be a nice punch to the gloom of winter months.

Ehh. Not into the whole resurgence of the 80s and early 90s. I did my time in neon and spandex and other perversions of nature!

I think it's overkill.

what's not to love?! if there's anything Michael Kors does well, it's color. neons are fun and quite welcome in this bleak winter...

black with bright pops of color, yes. however that unfortunate yellow hat will just have to be gifted to lily allen. i can't see that being RTW

Ick...I don't like neon, but it can be acceptable when done right, but this is definitely not. It makes me think of bad 80s pop music videos.

I like it too, gives me hope.

I like it, especially the coat and the orange turtleneck.

I like it too, sarahkeen! Especially when paired with black. Not that hat though, no way :D

sarahkeen 4 years 13 weeks

i actually like it! believe it or not I remember the neon craze in the early 80's

I don't like this collection. Too much neon. Too much bulk.

emalove 4 years 13 weeks

I could possibly do neon in VERY small doses, but this is way too much.

ashleyroselong 4 years 13 weeks

Way too much; the whole thing looks bland and boring.

shannydoots 4 years 13 weeks

I'm sorry, but this isn't even remotely wearable or appealing.
