Michael Kors 2010

"Love Games" by Lady Gaga opened the Michael Kors Spring 2010 show at New York Fashion Week. This was followed by "Poker Face," and that's when I realized he wasn't going to play anything but. It was kind of surprising because one tends to look to runway music as a venue to discover the newest, hipster music (or the newest, hipster remix). I know DJs who specialize in runway music -- who live for this stuff -- that would be heartbroken by hearing a Lady Gaga track at a fashion show.

Thus, Lady Gaga was a tad commercial for me. And not the most timely. Lady Gaga in September 2009? Talk about old news. It also had nothing to do with the collection (well, you can judge for yourself here). It was only when I read the directives backstage that I made the connection.

"Be Gaga optimistic."

Michael Kors explains that for Spring 2010 it's about channeling Lady Gaga's spirit, energy and optimism. No comment.

Check out Simon Nessam and Lakshmi Menon (you can imagine how I was melting butter in my pants). And special shout outs to the woman who was suppose to sit in front of me but didn't show up. Made for a sweet view :)
