More quotes by Michael Kors
Ultimately, clean lines have greater longevity, which women appreciate, and to which they can add their own personality
Michael Kors
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.
Michael Kors
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.
Michael Kors
People always think that designers hate each other. And we're certainly a competitive lot, but we also enjoy each other's company. No one else knows what you're going through other than another designer.
Michael Kors
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.
Michael Kors
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.
Michael Kors
I wasn't Barbie-obsessed. I think my mother might have been my Barbie.
Michael Kors
I think the trick is, how do you spend time doing it but make it look like you haven't spent time doing it? Over the years you look at women like Lauren Hutton and everyone says: 'She just pulled her hair back and ran out of the door.' I've been in fittings with Lauren and she definitely thinks about it. She just knows how to make it look easy.
Michael Kors
The biggest lesson that I've learned is that fashion is this tightrope where you have to be consistent but inconsistent. You need the connective thread but at the same time you need a sense of surprise.
Michael Kors
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.
Michael Kors
Every woman should own a shirtdress
Michael Kors
I can't dance and I can't sing too well.
Michael Kors
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
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.
Michael Kors
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.
Michael Kors
The greenest thing you could do in fashion, is to buy something great that you’re going to use for years
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?
Michael Kors
I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
Michael Kors
No human being should wear tight satin.
Michael Kors
When you try on something, you have to ask yourself, 'How many ways could I wear this? Could I wear it to work? To dinner or drinks? Will it span the seasons' If you have to think too hard about those questions, then skip it.
Michael Kors
