The Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2025 Collection, themed around Mediterranean romance, debuted at The Shed in Hudson Yards, NYC. This collection marks 35 years of Michael Kors collaborating with Italian artisans, celebrating craftsmanship, tailoring, and intricate handwork.
Michael Kors expresses the importance of working with Italy’s artisans, seeing them as essential in bringing his creative visions to life. This collection highlights the timeless craftsmanship, sophisticated tailoring, and unique detailing that makes each piece special, offering a blend of the casual luxury of the Mediterranean with the opulence of urban sophistication. With influences from the 1950s’ romanticism and the 1990s’ simplicity, the designs blend nostalgia with modern minimalism.
Texture is the essence of this season, inspired by vintage cinema and classic photography. The collection features relaxed raffia embroidery, floral designs, luxurious lace, and sleek satin and cotton fabrics, embodying a lived-in elegance.
Expect shapely silhouettes, defined waists, long-line sheaths, soft skirts, and loose trousers, enhanced by dramatic necklines and minimalist tailoring. The color palette includes textural black and white paired with earthy tones like chocolate, ecru, and vibrant blues and greens.
Footwear and accessories further reinforce the collection’s theme, featuring sculpted heels, flat fisherman sandals, woven leather bags, artisanal tassels, and braided handles, focusing on meticulous craftsmanship throughout.
Esteemed guests such as Olivia Wilde, Mary J. Blige, and Kerry Washington graced the show, which featured models gliding down a runway inspired by the Italian coastline. Composer Sebastien Perrin curated a custom soundtrack that underscored the Mediterranean ambiance. The show was also streamed live across Michael Kors’ digital platforms, connecting with fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
Michael Kors, a distinguished designer in luxury accessories and ready-to-wear, established his brand in 1981, encompassing collections that include accessories, clothing, footwear, and fragrances under Michael Kors Collection, MICHAEL Michael Kors, and Michael Kors Mens.
