PARIS, October 9, 2001 – Michael Kors' sunny, low-key Celine collection was full of what he does best: pretty, practical summer staples that make an easy transition from the beach to a poolside soiree.
Though Kors' program notes talked about his Mediterranean inspiration, it was the graphic designs of '60s Scandinavian cult label Marimekko that was brought to mind by the designer's large avocado-and-paprika sunflower-print jackets, coats and skirts. Kors interspersed
his flower-power looks with breezy crochet shells, crepe jersey tank dresses and multistripe canvas shorts and shirts; rounding things out were flat sandals and a roomy tote. For cocktail hour there were snappy turquoise-, amethyst- and silver-beaded dresses that looked just as relaxed as the daywear.
