		<description><![CDATA[<p>The Michael Kors show was packed this morning. Volunteers tried with moderate success to heard guests and photographers off the runway as <strong>Michael Douglas</strong>, <strong>Rachel Zoe</strong>,<strong> Anna Wintour</strong>,<strong> Patricia Field</strong> and  <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong> made their way to the front row. We didn't even recognize a demure looking <strong>Courtney Love</strong>, who had tamed  her signature rat's nest and was wearing a black pantsuit.</p>
<p>A collective gasp was heard when one guest fell as she was taking her seat. Don't worry, she was a nobody. And she was fine.</p>
<p>"Can evrheeyone please take zeir seats? Zee show is about to start," a disembodied french voice said over a loud speaker. The pit of photographers at the end of the runway were clamoring incomprehensibly even as the lights were dimmed.</p>
<p>An awkwardly loud musical rendition of Adele's hit "Rolling in the Deep" soon began to blare and the first models took to the catwalk.</p>
<p>The theme of the show was clearly somthing akin to safari chic, and self-consciously so. In the presentation catalog, the collection is described as the following: "NEW VOYAGER...MEMORIES OF AFRICA...THE RUSTIC MODERNISM OF THE LEBOMBO LODGE...CREAMY TONES OF IVORY, IMPALA AND ANTELOPE...AFRILUXE."</p>
<p>An impressive sixty-four looks of both men and womenswear were shown, with animal-prints dominant throughout. Ponchos, kaftans, and travel bags with faux-croc skin were included in many of the ensembles. Models sported messy hair with jungle-inspired tangles and wore little make-up.</p>
<p>Not everyone was a fan of the look, however. New York Times style critic (<a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/09/gaga-vs-horyn-the-memo-in-full/">and recent recipient of Gaga's wrath</a>) <strong>Cathy Horyn</strong> tweeted "Michael Kors: a festival or Braveheart without the tartan?" while her colleague <strong>Eric Wilson </strong><a href="http://runway.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/14/michael-kors-poor-mans-safari/?ref=fashion">wrote that</a> "the collection looked more like hillbillies on safari." Showing our claws, are we Mr. Wilson?</p>
<p>After the show, Mr. Kors walked the runway, waving to adoring fans and nobodies alike.</p>
