At the risk of sounding like a delirious fan I just have to say, I love Michael Kors!
Kors was on trend with the love affair fashion is having with all things 80's but kept it modern and fresh. Big shoulders were softened with orgiami pleats while neon hued dresses and coats were stylish and fun, not garish. Tailored jackets with sleek and sexy architectural seaming called to Kelly while I counted the number of asymmetrical and sculpted dresses that I'll be ordering (5). Simple sheaths were spiced up with dramatic necklines lending further allure to the powerful and chic silhouettes. Structured clutches and bold chains finished off the polished looks beautifully. While Marc Jacobs bordered on the "circus freakish"; Michael Kors hits the mark with a confident urban wardrobe for the modern woman. (Jump to see my must have list and more photos!)

ever since Thomas Crown Affair with Rene Russo, I have LOVED michael kors...he just makes women beautiful and NOT fashion roadkill
Fantastic review, you have a knack for words that make women want to shop!
Forgot to mention the fur coats-- I thought they were cute in a cartoonish way. Shredded fox fur!
Michael Kors definitely knows what he's doing. I would love to own each piece from his Fall 2009 collection!
In a year of collections that are so over the top that in 10-15 years we will be looking back at Fall 2009 RTW and laughing that we ever bought any of the clothes, Michael Kors once again, brings us clothes that are actually wearable.
Michael Kors rocks it as usual.
