I love Elie Tahari's regular lines, so I figured I should check out the new collaboration at Kohl's, available starting today. Got there pretty early so they were still putting out things from the stockroom. In fact, I grabbed a load of things, took them to the fitting room to try on, and by the time I was done there was a whole 'nother display of additional items. So maybe there's even more I didn't see...

Almost the whole collecton is black - very New York - with touches of cobalt blue, grey, and taupe. In general I thought the construction was quite good - in contrast to what we'd been talking about the other day with the Altuzurra collection @ Target and other similar collabs. Most of the fabrics were synthetics, of course, but nothing too ridiculously plastic-y. Everything is available in XS - XL, with some of the dresses in number sizes - usual Kohl's fit, i.e. runs big.

Here are pics of some of the items, some of which are not the greatest quality (lighting in the Kohl's dressing room is not the best ever, shocker).

1/2/3 - print shift dress with mesh neckline detail and working zipper features at hem
4 - faux-layered cobalt and black top, also available in all black
5/6 - sweatshirt with a faux fur esque panel in front
7/8/9 - ponte leggings with mesh detail on sides, also available in charcoal
10 - this tube skirt and the sweater below were made out of this layered-look sweater knit with a really nice hand.
11/12 - this shape didn't work for me but if you're looking for a long sweater for this fall I would recommend this. Sort of boyfriend crossed with Chanel.
13/14 - sweater knit dress with a 'print' panel in front. I was disappointed that I was between sizes in this.

Part 2 coming up!
