Michael Kors. It's a name that's hard to forget. It's a name that is permanently burned into your brain after your first glance at any of his work. Kors has evolved from a fashion designer to a direct fashion authority. With over 30 years designing and 7 seasons hosting the hit reality T.V. show "Project Runway" his new collection was one that was definitely a must-see at this years' NYFW. Going back to the real basics this season, Kors stunned audiences with his new safari theme for his 2012 Spring collection which made its debut at this years' Mercedez-Benz New York Fashion Week. Kors use of earthy tones, warm colours and animal prints of every kind were pleasant and easy on the eyes. His new spring collection fell nothing short of wild, with a subtle contemporary twist.

His stunning, sun-kissed models all adorned the collection perfectly, wearing everything from leopard print to white body suits under long white trench coats to safari shorts and blouses. What caught my eyes was not only the clothing, but the accessories, like the snake skin belts. Not to mention the shoes in Kors runway were to die for… especially the belted, calf-high sandals.

Kors began his career when he was 19 and since then has been unstoppable. Never shying away from the forefront of fashion, every designer should be looking at Kors and taking a page out of his book. Next season be prepared to shy away from bright, neon colors without shying away from the wild side of fashion.
