Michael Kors Takes It Easy With New Collection At New York Fashion Week

Michael Kors created a runway that evoked his own living room to set the tone for his new Fall/Winter collection for New York Fashion Week, which focused on comfort and movement.

"It's about the idea of ease, which we Americans invented. The world dresses this way, but what I like is that it has glamour," Kors told The Associated Press backstage before the show.

The designer says he looked at old photos of icons like Lauren Hutton back in the 70s , and Zoe Kravitz on the street today to find the essence of the collection. "There's this relaxed ease to how they look that I think is modern," Kors said.

"It's also about layering things in a very cool way. So it could be- a silk dress, but grab your husband's coat or his jacket and throw it on. It's about stride. I like when clothes move when you walk. That's what's sexy, not being naked."
