Michael Kors brings graphic stripes and sculptural influences to NY Fashion Week
PUBLISHED Sep 12, 2026, 12:23 PM ET
Designer Michael Kors presented his spring and summer 2027 collection at the Museum of Modern Art sculpture garden in New York City, featuring a minimalist palette punctuated by vivid primary accents. The runway showcase highlighted a black and white aesthetic interspersed with flashes of red, green, and yellow, drawing visual inspiration from abstract artists Carmen Herrera, Alexander Calder, and Ellsworth Kelly. The collection balanced crisp tailoring with sculptural influences, presenting warm weather attire that ranged from striped day dresses and structured professional two-piece outfits to asymmetrical evening wear. High profile celebrities including Gabrielle Union Wade, Grace Van Patten, and Lea Michele attended the outdoor presentation. The runway debut arrives as parent company Capri Holdings works to stabilize retail revenue following consecutive quarters of declining sales across its global luxury accessory operations, driven by macroeconomic pressures and shifting consumer demand patterns.
