Michael Kors brings on the Desert Chic to the Wine Country

My early August slipped by in a haze - a haze of long evenings of driving Healdsburg side roads and wine tasting with friends. Sonoma County is a land of beautiful vineyards and great wines, where a single glass of wine can be a real pleasure and expression of life, where the shades of afternoon skies and sunsets seem to reflect only happy moods.

This collection is inspired by a cool sensibility, adding a chic twist on graphic camouflage. The season's natural palette infuses earthy cream, khaki, olive and camel with bold accents of orange and green.
