"Akukho sinqe kuyo nayiphi na inkangeleko," UMichael Kors watsho ngendlela yentshayelelo kuluhlu lwakhe lweFall. Abo balinda ngaphandle, kwigumbi lokubonisa intengiso. Xa ingqokelela yavela kwimizi-mveliso, iziqwenga uKors awayetsalele kuzo yayikukubila kunye neebhulukhwe zengoma, zonke zenziwe ngezinto zodidi oluphezulu—i-cashmere enobuso obuphindwe kabini, i-suede, iflaneli yokunxiba—kwaye zonke zinezinqe ezitsaliweyo. Oko kukunika umbono wokubheja akwenzayo ngokulula. (“Kwaye sasineebhanti ezininzi ezintle…” watsho ngoburhalarhume emva koko.)
Wayesabela, watsho, kumawele amawele okuthengisa ngokugqithisileyo okusesikweni kunye noLwezihlanu oluqhelekileyo. Udibanise zombini kwinto awayibiza ngokuba "iBig Sur idibana neSixeko esikhulu." Iijezi zeBaja kunye neembotyi zazininzi. Kwakukho amalaphu esuti kunye neebhatyi ezilungiselelweyo, kodwa athambekele abe yinto efana neipijama kuneesuti zamandla. Ummeli ujonge ibhulukhwe yeflaneli ende, enamaqhosha amathathu, ihempe engafakwanga, i-mohair pullover, kunye neembadada. “Kukutyunyuzwa kweWall Street,” watsho uKors ngovuyo.
Leyo yindlela engaqhelekanga yokuba indoda esemva kweyona fashoni ye-IPO ikwinkumbulo yokubuyisela i-Wall Street, kodwa iibhanki zayo isenokuba kuphela kwabantu abakwaziyo ukuthenga ii-cashmere long johns ezilishumi. Ukuba ingqokelela ayibonisi ukuphela kwesuti, icebisa ukuba u-Kors uye warhoxa kwingqokelela yakhe yokugqibela yokuziva ekhululekile ebonakala isondele entliziyweni yakhe. Iqhekeza emva kweqhekeza lalinqweneleka, nangona lihlekisayo: i-cashmere sweats, i-suede joggers. “Ndivakalelwa kukuba umntu oseDubai uza kusebenza kwezi,” utshilo uKors. Ulungele ukuzilolonga okanye hayi, omnye umthengisi omkhulu ophumileyo kule nkcazo uqinisekisile ukuba iimpahla zokuphumla zodidi oluphezulu ziludidi oluthengiswayo nolukhulayo.
