Where on earth can we find these Michael Kors men's Capote shoes? They remind us a wee bit of the goodies Helmut Lang used to have up for grabs for men back in the day and we won't rest until we can kick our feet up in these beauties. Help!!!
It's no surprise given the state of the economy that over the past few season's resort has become a very important collection for designer's as it highlights their statements in a vision that is more clear & concise than runway presentations. And of course we at Vnyc like to look at what's going on in fashion to fuel our own vintage buys to elicit a contemporary feeling. Looking at Michael Kors pragmatic Resort Collection for 2010 instantly reminded us of one of our favorite new buys, this mid 90's lilac Grecian draped GIANNI VERSACE skirt. Kors used similar jersey draping to full urban effect while evoking the disco-fied glory days of the 70's, while Versace made his romantic draped vision boldly feminine. We love Versace's insightful play on what you could call a more sophisticated sarong and on a breezy day vacationing, what sounds better than an ultra-packable, fuss-free, fluid option in such a soothing palette?

P.S: Take note of Kor's savvy styling trick, the heavy military influenced belt is a great counter point for such fluid jersey. It instantly adds weight and more substantial focus for the eye.
Looks from Michael Kors 2010 Resort Collection
With the financial state of the world as it is today, we thought it was time to make a weekly addition to our blog that will highlight our vintage finds that are classic, stand-by investment pieces with enough character to get you through the times! First up is this beautifully made black stretch MICHAEL KORS pencil skirt that elegantly falls to the knee and boasts urbane thick silver zippers running up the sides. Those zippers not only intensify the skirt's versatility but they also hint at punk utility and give the piece some weight and the eye something luxe to focus on. These polished details make it one of those great foundation numbers that you can wear with anything, anywhere, year-round! These are the kind of stimulating pieces you should be focusing on if you are trying to get a lot of mileage out of your purchases without sacrificing your sartorial wit!
Up for grabs is this fantastic early MICHAEL KORS 80's white linen dress that has an oval cut-out around the waist giving the dress a strong MOD, minimal and even urban twist. The cut-out also makes it great for year-round layering since from the front it looks like two separate pieces and it also makes it a great summer dress.
