Michael Kors unveiled its spring/summer 2022 collection.

Urban romance was the theme of the show, which took place this morning in New York City. From the location at Tavern on the Green in the heart of Central Park, to a performance by musical star Ariana DeBose, to the spotlight given the charitable organization God’s Love We Deliver, and of course, the clothes themselves, the show was a celebration of love. A live musical performance by actress Ariana DeBose set the tone for the presentation as models including Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Precious Lee, Natasha Poly, Adut Akech and Irina Shayk walked the sunlit runway. 

“I think we’re all ready to focus on the simple, powerful pleasures of love—romantic love, love for one another, love for the places that sustain us, which in my case is New York City,” says Michael Kors. “It’s a special thrill to celebrate the resilience and rebirth of the city and the fashion industry with a live runway show. This collection pays homage to everything I love about spring in the city—the energy, the mix of people, the romance and laid-back glamour.”

“For this collection, I was really thinking about what love means to me and I immediately thought of God’s Love We Deliver,” says Kors. “I first started working with them in the late 1980s when AIDS was decimating NYC, and the design community in particular. Since then, I’ve seen how they’ve been there for the city during the toughest moments, showing compassion and delivering food to people in need. That simple act of bringing someone a hot plate of food—that’s love.”
