As Kors mentioned pre-show, “It’s all about personal style.”

Indeed, the American designer’s ability to zero in on reality is

second to none. After all, this was the man who made headlines for

casting plus-size model Ashley Graham in his Autumn/Winter ’17 show.

With a line-up just as diverse as the collection itself, beauty, in all shapes and

sizes, was celebrated. Like South Korean model EZ, whose platinum buzz cut

threw off the stately evening gown she was in, or South African model Georgina

Grenville, who proved that even at the age of 42, you could still rock a scarlet-red

faux fur bomber with rugged biker boots. Graham also reprised her role on the

runway, and made an appearance in another faux fur number in sorbet pink, a breezy

midi skirt and a camo-green embellished sweater. Think Baby Spice at bootcamp,

but with an uptown Blair Waldorf appeal.

While it’s one thing to offer covetable pieces across a spectrum of trends, it’s another

to be pushing it further on the diversity scale; the idea of relatability, as opposed to a one-

size-fits-all approach. And it’s through this bold move that Kors is pushing women to think

outside of the box. A little bit of a tomboy, but feeling intimidated by a Cinderella-esque ball

gown? Or pushing 50, but still wish you could rock that overly embellished slip dress? Then let

collection be your voice of reason, because to Kors, “short hair, straight hair, dreadlocks ... any g

size, and ethnicity ... that’s what modern beauty is all about.” 
