WHAT WE THOUGHT: Michael Kors is the go-to designer for the jet-set. For autumn/winter, he focused on the city slicker with a country estate. Kors was on track from the opening look - model Abbey Lee in an enormous coyote vest and stretch cashmere body suit. Chesterfield coats with cut outs at the elbows, suede trousers, and mohair pullovers followed as did an unapologetic amount of fur, including super sized shredded silver fox coats and hoods and a blonde sable shift. If the Kors woman wants to throw a lavish dinner party or pop out to the opera - and we know that she will - the designer has a few suggestions, such as a stellar sparkling gunmetal-coloured jersey dress with cut-outs around the shoulders and a longer version with an unobtrusive peek-a-boo slit at the hip.
