I am still scratching my head over this one. For Spring 2012, Michael Kors’ ready-to-wear line includes all thing safari – from multi-pocketed khaki, to enormous ethnic jewelry, to leather fanny packs (yes, it’s true!).
Apparently, Kors recently took a vacation to Singita Lebombo Lodge in South Africa, inspiring the collection. But, after fall 2011’s cowboy extravaganza, I thought Kors would return to his thoughtful, sophisticated and honest design. Sadly, the costume party continues, including a runway show filled with over-the-top, unwearable pieces.
This is not to say that I don’t appreciate the lure of Out of Africa themed fashion. So, below, I’ve highlighted some more realistic pieces to bring this look to life (real life, that is!).
