FASHION WEEK

BRINGING THE BEACH TO THE RUNWAY

Surf chic took over on New York runways this week, when Michael Kors, the "Project Runway" judge who also happens to be a fashion designer, gave out some good vibrations with a yellow polka-dot bikini on the runway and a soundtrack that included the Beach Boys and the Go-Gos. Kors, in his notes, described the collection as "Triple A ... architectural, athletic and American."

Believe it or not, scuba-style neoprene can make a remarkably stylish skirt suit. There also was a zip-front, tech-fabric surf dress in royal and black that was flattering and ready for anything.

For men, there were cotton trousers in a floral print you'd expect to see on board shorts.
