Garments from the Elie Tahari for DesigNation collection

The upcoming Elie Tahari capsule collection for Kohl’s is a love song to the city of New York, penned in polyester with a touch of spandex thrown in for ease.   The collection is not officially on sale until Sept. 26, but Kohl’s is offering a special presale on their website now with savings of $10.00 of a purchase of $50.00 or more using code FASHION10.   I haven’t seen all the pieces from the collection, but Kohl’s did send me one item to preview.  Here are my initial thoughts on the collection and a giveaway of a Kohl’s gift card for my readers to go shopping.

Elie Tahari for DesigNation Graphic Mixed-Media Tee with the Brooklyn Bridge.

Kohl’s sent me the Elie Tahari for DesigNation Graphic Mixed-Media Tee with the Brooklyn Bridge on the front in black and cream. The shirt is a polyester blend with rayon and spandex in the mix, but it’s very comfortable and a bit oversized. I spilled some coffee on it, applied some soap and water and the stain came right out.  The weight of the shirt is very nice, perfect for the cooling temperatures of fall.  The hem is longer in the back than in the front , designed to cover and minimize the wearer’s backside.   The shirt is of good quality , although to be honest, it’s not exactly what I would’ve expected from Mr. Tahari.  This is a casual collection, not like the elegant looking separates in his ready to wear line.

Casual separates and midi dresses are featured in the Elie Tahari at Kohl’s collection.

New York City scenes are featured on a dress with a flared skit (see above left)  and an oversized shirt/tunic.  If you love New York, then this collection might be your fashion dream.   Other highlights of this collection are mixed media sheath dresses, ponte leggings, mock layer sweaters and an oversized motorcycle jacket and a black jumpsuit.    The color palette is a subdued black, grey and white with a bit of blue.  To be honest, I’m not as excited about this collection as I was about Catherine Malandrino for Kohl’s, but I really have to try in on to know for sure when it arrives in Kohl’s stores on September 26, 2014.

Now for the giveaway! I have a $100.00 gift card for shopping at Kohl’s to giveaway to one lucky reader.   Here’s what you need to do to enter to win the gift card.   Tell me if you could go shopping at Kohl’s for free, what would you buy?
