What does that look like? In Kors’s spring-summer collection (presented in Paris last October), it looks like rustic sweaters in linen and silk taffeta and pretty pastel dresses encrusted with rock crystal and amethyst. It also looks like a winner, with critics praising the designer’s tale of two cities and (at least by implication) endorsing LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault’s strategy for selling more luxury goods in America. “This is French dressing with an unmistakable American accent–and it looks great,” opined Women’s Wear Daily....
