Model Maggie Rizer, a mainstay of the 1990s, opened the Michael Kors show looking as fresh as a spring daisy. Her cream lace ankle-length skirt, paired with a heavy silk t-shirt, flat Grecian wrap sandals and a face scrubbed as clean as a well complexioned teenager's, set the tone for this sweetly chic collection that was spritzed with a slight retro air. Kors is the king of American sportswear, which means all of his clothes have a certain ease and functionality, even when they're formal. Crunchy yellow floral beading felt as fresh and accessible on brief, royal blue mini skirts as they did on sweeping tulle floor-length skirts. In either case, when worn with cotton poplin shirts in cornflower blue and practical flat summer sandals, none of this could be confused for stuffy couture. Kors prefers simpler fare - from suede mini dresses and car coats to stiffly cuffed denim jeans and trenches - all of which had a sporty, almost collegiate flair in preppy shades of egg yolk yellow and navy blue.
