"   Last night, through the rain and thunder, editors, models, and socials came out to fete the opening of the new Michael Kors store on New Bond Street. The store, like the brand, was clean and modern, exemplifying what Kors told me regarding his designs, &amp;quot;I always try to balance the idea that you want something that sort of perks your ears up, that makes you feel different and special but at the same time there is something familiar about it.&amp;quot; Colorful accessories were everywhere\u2014cases full of handbags in patent blues and yellows, platform strappy heels in fire engine red, and a wall covered in sunglasses. Kors seemed thrilled as he greeted guests like Carmen Kass, Eva Herzigova and Erin O&amp;#039;Connor, who was dressed in a black shift by the designer embellished with gold sequins. I congratulated him on his success and growth despite the current state of the world, and asked him how he does it; he responded with unbridled enthusiasm and passion, &amp;quot;At the end of the day, I don&amp;#039;t care what is happening in the economy, I don&amp;#039;t care what is happening in the world, everyone wants to look skinny and everyone wants to look taller and everyone wants to look sexy without looking vulgar, and I do all of those things regardless of the economy.&amp;quot; \u2014Rebecca Suhrawardi Austin Photo: Party-goers wearing looks from the designer&amp;#039;s spring 2009 collection "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
