Kohl’s
Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) today announced the limited edition,
limited time MILLY for DesigNation collection is now available at Kohl’s
stores nationwide and Kohls.com. The capsule, inspired by designer
Michelle Smith’s trip to Capri, Italy, is the first to feature women’s
and girl’s apparel. Smith’s contemporary designs, showcasing the
island’s technicolor vistas, retail for under $100.
“We are excited to bring our customers Michelle Smith’s impeccable
designs with MILLY for DesigNation,” said Nancy Feldman, Kohl's
executive vice president of women’s apparel. “The new collection’s
vibrant, Capri-inspired prints and colors will be the perfect addition
to our women’s apparel assortment this spring and is sure to resonate
with our customers.”
MILLY for DesigNation offers a full spectrum of modern pieces including
dresses, skirts, tops and bottoms in bold patterns inspired by Capri’s
breathtaking landscapes and deep blue seas. With a complementary color
palette inspired by the Mediterranean, the whole collection can easily
be mixed and matched for a versatile wardrobe.
A graduate of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and ESMOD in
Paris, Smith founded MILLY with her husband, Andrew Oshrin, in 2001. The
Kohl’s exclusive capsule boasts the flawless details and feminine
designs that attracted MILLY’s global trendsetting fans.
“Capri's signature style of effortlessly chic dressing was the perfect
inspiration for this collection,” said Michelle Smith, founder and
designer of MILLY. “The Italians even have a phrase for it –
‘spezzaturra’! As the MILLY by Michelle Smith collection defines
luxurious, bold, feminine style, I’m thrilled to partner with Kohl’s to
offer an exclusive taste of ‘La Dolce Vita’ to women across the country.”
Smith is the sixth designer for Kohl’s DesigNation. Previous designers
to collaborate with DesigNation include Narciso Rodriguez, Derek Lam and
Peter Som. The spring 2015 collection is Smith’s first collaboration
with Kohl’s.
In fall 2015, Kohl’s seventh DesigNation collection will feature Thakoon
Panichgul and will be inspired by London. The collection will feature
misses’ apparel available exclusively at Kohl’s and Kohls.com.
