Castaways in Manhattan By Michael Kors..

On Thursday, the air swept moisture, some editors bent down in the shade, 11, West 42nd Street and left the elevator to the showroom of Michael Kors. Servers offered sparkling water and orange juice maybe 20 editors of various publications - Elle, W, Town & Country, with style - stood in the lobby of blond wood check your BlackBerry or speak when he left for the Hamptons or Fire Island for the weekend.

The resort collections are underway, and they are almost like being on vacation.

First, the shows are spread over two or three weeks - some here, some there. You can not do much other work, which is funny, given the financial importance that designers and retailers in the local collection station. These parts are normally delivered in November and early December, when everyone is tired of falling clothing, which was late anyway.

Secondly, the atmosphere of the station clock is quite informal. Mr. Kors, Levi's and a wearing white shirt, sat with his guests in a semi-circle and talked each model came out and stopped in a transparent background. Sophie Theallet met with editors individually in their showroom, appearing behind a curtain to help dress up the model. Yves Saint Laurent hosted a mini-show at a gallery, with designer Stefano Pilati, and the normal arc after that. His new boss, Paul Deneve, was also there.

Mr. Pilati theme mostly black, red and yellow, was water, with the anchor rope on clothing and many reasons. There was even thrown jewelry with anchor bit, and noticed a couple of platforms have star embossed on the plant. I was wondering if anyone had seen his team "Anything Goes," the Broadway musical. Some forms - tap shorts, skirts, blouses with puffy sleeves, blouses, jackets - was beautiful in a gorgeous French manner. But I was a little surprised with the anchor rope and Schmaltz. The clothing would have been fine without it.

Ms. Theallet kept things simple and easy. One of his sweetest eyes was a dark pink sleeveless dress with a drawstring waist width of the belt. Another was a black cotton dress with long sleeves, chiffon, a nice variation on his signature caftans. She also had smart-looking cuffed shorts ivory silk cream, with a jacket cut close to the body.

"This is my tribute to the life of urban beach - I wish we had," said Kors, who a few months ago made an inspirational journey to Australia like a theme designer destination, e. enjoyed the holidays, offering athletic form as a mini dress "combination" acid stretch crepe with green and black stripes, zebra bathroom designs (a "scubini" in the press notes the boy's pants) and some accessories like sandals look terrible viscous and low-profile black belt with pouches attached to a kind of James Bond effect.

When a model came out in a garrison for the future mini-trial, Mr. Kors turtleneck, Jackie A little browsing, and paused, as if its meaning is clear. "It's - Surf's Jackie," he said.

So you do not really know how much weight to give these clothes, and I often feel that designers have a similar ambivalence.
