With echoes of the nostalgic 70s resonating through every frame, the Michael Kors Collection Fall/Winter 2023 campaign brilliantly captures the zeitgeist of an era long gone, yet ever-remembered. Paying homage to the boho-glam spirit of Greenwich Village, where big city glamour intertwines effortlessly with bohemian vibes, Michael Kors has painted a picture that takes us back in time.
The campaign, brought to life by the renowned lens of photography maestros Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, is as much about the era as it is about the fashion. The stunning visuals capture not just the fabric, but the very soul of that era. Michael Kors reminisces, “For this collection, I was really thinking about the things that influenced me when I was coming of age in the ‘70s – the women who influenced me, the neighborhood that influenced me, and the combination of big city glamour and bohemia that I found in Greenwich Village at that time.”
In every piece of this collection, one can detect the intoxicating allure of 70s bohemia – the tall boots echoing the steps of revolution, the bold belt buckles speaking of rebellion, and statement jewelry whispering tales of love, freedom, and dreams. Yet, with the opulent wool coats and glittering sequined dresses, there’s a sense of grandeur that reminds us of the luxury that the era was synonymous with.
The magic doesn’t stop at the clothing. Inez and Vinoodh, with their distinctive shooting style, create silhouettes of the models that are both ethereal and powerful. Anok Yai and Vittoria Ceretti, captured from unconventional angles, appear as statuesque icons against the timeless backdrop of Greenwich Village. Their every pose suggests stories waiting to unfold – from the promise of a golden afternoon to the allure of a mysterious evening.
