“They never gave up on looking fabulous,” the designer said of his mother and Steinem. “That’s timeless.”

Keeping with his love of New York city style, Kors relied on neutral colours while still incorporating his signature black and adding brown tones.

Fringe was woven throughout the pieces onto scarfs, clutches and mini dresses. Kors also drew inspiration from Greenwich Village and what the designer called its “blend of the urban and bohemian”.

“There is this polish that is a very big city but then definitely a warmth and earthiness,” he said.

“It’s so sexy when a woman wears a suit,” she said.

This collection, Kors took a twist with the women’s blazer adding slits to the sides of each arm, giving the jacket sleeves more movement.

Kors didn’t shy away from adding sparkle despite the neutral tones throughout the collection. He balanced a sparkly silver bell-bottom jumpsuit with a grey overcoat that hung off the shoulders.

The designer closed the show with an eye-catching shimmering black cape which actor Molly Ringwald adored. Ringwald said she appreciated how Kors’ clothes could be worn by any body type.
