As a boy, Michael Boris dabbled in the alchemy of animation through fabric. Fascinated by film stars dancing weightless across a movie screen, he recreated their ecstatic motion in the costumes of his marionettes. Flying across a card table, skirts extended by layers of cloth under the intricate lace fabric of a borrowed heirloom doily, the puppets embodied a six-year olds' fantasy of elegance in dance.
Michael Boris continual indulgence in sophisticated color palettes and sensuous, natural-fiber luxury fabrics work their magic through subliminal effect.
A statement surpassing classic elegance and achieved through the intoxication of fabrics (e.g. doublefaced cashmeres, satin-faced organza, silk brocades, six-ply crepe) and finished with a perfection to detail (hand-embroidered) evident not only in the exteriors but the interiors of his designs with fine French piping and custom trademark buttons, what
Michael Boris clients feel when they wear his clothes......is provocation. They satisfy their
impulse to make the most fabulous possible statement of themselves.
Through the cut, drape, and ultimate flow of fabric, Michael Boris creates the final animating effect of his garment - something a women senses the instant she steps into a piece. Michael Boris invites his clients to try on not only his ready to wear, but samples from his made to order collection.
