Mixed feelings about the fall 2014 collection shown by Michael Kors yesterday. Some of the pieces — like a sequin-flower embellished collarless gray flannel coat — are simply beautiful; others are just oddly-hued, shapeless and boring.
The spring 2014 collection from Michael Kors is all over the place. Muted grays? Leather tops? Tropical print swimsuits? FUR STOLES? Some of it is hideous — the man's white belted leisure suit — and some of it is cute — the cheerful green high-waisted bikini with little white daisy appliqués. But there's something weird …
Who's got your favorite look here? Liz Hurley, Kate Hudson, Constance Jablonski, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Gayle King or Donna Karan?

The collection Michael Kors showed for fall 2013 had a slightly space-age vibe, thanks to reflective fabrics and shield-like sunglasses. But there were also weird camouflage prints, intense neon hues, and working-gal tweedy suits. Oh, and zippers. And belts. And peplum mullet skirts. It was all over the place, yet…

Taping of the next season of Project Runway has only just begun in New York City, but already two designers have made unscheduled departures from the show. One designer simply packed her things and stole away in the dead of night. "She just ran off in the middle of the night," said a source of the contestant, who had…

Much unlike many a magazine editor who recommends you buy all sorts of crap that they most likely got for free, your Jezebel staff doesn't get jack shit (other than books, unsolicited). And that's how it should be. But on our own time, in our personal lives, we still buy stuff. So this is Worth It, our daily…

For spring 2012, Michael Kors encourages us all to go on a safari. His collection — shown Wednesday in New York — seemed inspired by explorers and wildlife enthusiasts: lots of khaki and olive, accented by animal prints and tie-dye.
