People shouldn't notice what you're wearing before they notice you. You want people to register you first. 'Oh, what a nice jacket' should be an afterthought if you're doing it right.

I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
Michael Kors
Image
I've always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman's outfit.
Michael Kors
Image
I grew up in a family of people who were obsessed with fashion.

People want to look taller and thinner. No one says, 'Ooh! Let me buy that dress because it makes me feel matronly!'
Michael Kors

Fashion is not like the movie business, where you can have two great projects in a row and then say, You know what? I'm going to take off eight months. What am I going to tell people? Wear last year's clothes?

Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.
Michael Kors

Fashion is like food! Some people like sushi, others think hamburgers are divine! People like different things!

When I'm not working I'm a slug - a full slug. I am not good at the in-between. I'm either fever-pitched or want to just pass out on a beach with a really sleazy book and eat a cheeseburger.

My apartment looks like no one lives in it.

I can't dance and I can't sing too well.

Americans are always a little bit insecure.
Michael Kors
Image
I grew up surrounded by these tough, ballsy, strong women. They were also adoring women, but they were the kind of women who would argue over what kind of pants you were wearing or the color of your nail polish.

American women often fall into the trap of, Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night. It's so old-fashioned. The French are not afraid of their luxury. Americans can be so puritanical and think, That's my special-occasion bag. Whereas, for a French woman, it's her everyday bag.

Great style means having a point of view, but evolving your look is even more important. Rushing to embrace every trend will leave you fashionable, but not stylish

If you want to have longevity, then I think that you have to have a point of view, but at the same time still be elastic. Things evolve, the world changes, but people have to know you for who you are so they know what you stand for.

The minute it gets to a runway, you're tempted to do some high jinks. I don't want to show something I won't produce. I want people to wear the clothes I show.
Michael Kors
Image
I feel unbelievably fortunate. How many people get to do what they always wanted to do and do well with it and continue to be surprised and see amazing places and meet amazing people?

You make sexiness strong by balancing it out: something familiar with something unfamiliar, something masculine with something feminine, something streamlined with something rococo. It's a Yin and Yang. Women are made of layers, your mood shifts, no one is neither one extreme nor the other.

My legacy would be that you don't have to give up anything. You can be chic but have a sense of humor, you can be sexy but comfortable, you can be timeless but fresh.

Seventy per cent of the clothes you own should be meat and potatoes. Thirty per cent should be icing and fluff - that's colour, pattern, shine, accessories. Too many women get the proportions the other way round, then can't figure out why they can't get dressed.
