SOUNDBITE (English) Sienna Miller/Actress - on attending the show: "I just think he's -aside from being the loveliest man, which he genuinely is - I love the stuff. It feels like beautiful and American and like I've just moved here so I'm like 'Michael Kors.' I just - I think it's really beautiful stuff and his shows apparently are what you dream fashion shows were a little girl and there's an amazing artist playing and Emily (Blunt) is one of my best friends so that's great and people I love are here so I just thought, 'Why not?'" 6. Medium of Sienna Miller 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Sienna Miller/Actress on her daughter starting school: "She's really adaptable. It's like, I think it's - you know, it's a new chapter and it's like 'Oh' a little heart-wrenching to see her go off to a really big school but she seems to be loving it." Reporter: "And is she into fashion as well?" Sienna Miller: "Yes. (laughs.)" Reporter: "How's her style?" Sienna Miller: "Her style is kooky and amazing but I do not get a say in it. She's also in a period where she just wants to wear the same thing every day but it's very out there. It's like leggings with socks that have to be pulled up and like weird bows in her hand. She's definitely got an aesthetic." 8. Medium of Nina Agdal 9. Fashion pan of Nina Agdal 10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nina Agdal/Model - on attending: "Why Michael? Because he is an awesome person.

Medium of actress Cynthia Erivo 14. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Kors/Designer - on his collection: "You know, I think we're living in really complicated times. I think that, you know, for me, I'm the believer that fashion is part of pop culture. When you put the right thing on you feel better, there's kind of a spring in your step so to speak. I'm an optimist and when I thought about it I was kind of thinking well what do I really think is missingg in the world? And I think romance is missing but I think that in today's world there's this hybrid that I think women want to feel empowered, but flirty and feminine at the same time, so I thought about powerful romance and how do we have the best of both worlds and you know it kind of harkens back, you know, when we think about the old phrase 'she's a real dame' and we think about actresses like Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Hepburn back in the 40's and Kim Basinger in the 80's and these women were sly and feminine but they were definitely in control." 15.

Michael Kors bow STORYLINE: KORS DELIVERS FEMININE, FLIRTY AND OPTIMISTIC STYLES FOR SPRING 2017 Michael Kors is in the mood for romance and optimism. Recording artist Rufus Wainwright sang to live accompaniment on Kors' runway as models walked Wednesday (14 SEPT. 2016) in optimistic florals, swingy ruffles and comfy wide leg pants for spring. "I'm an optimist, and when I thought about it I was kind of thinking, well what do I really think is missing in the world, and I think romance is missing," said Kors backstage of his sexy, strong collection of neutrals and brights, some striped, some sequined and some left alone to shine.
