Michael Kors heads west for Pre-Fall 2012

It's that time of year when the slightly more commercial Pre-Fall collections fill the void between designer's spring and fall RTW lines, and we're seriously feeling Michael Kors' gutsy assortment.

Kors - who turned out a tribal "Afriluxe" collection for Spring '12 - set his sights on the American West for Pre-Fall, offering a heady, modern take on saloon style. Highlights include asymmetrical hemlines, accentuated waists, bold crimson, holster-ready leather belts, equestrian touches and, of course, polished cowboy boots.
