Michael Kors is poised to present his first full-scale runway show outside New York, choosing Dubai as the stage on December 12.
This exclusive showcase of the Spring/Summer 2024 collection is reserved for an elite audience of 250, including top clients, global media, celebrities, and influencers. The event, which will also be live-streamed worldwide, promises an intimate viewing experience.
The show will unveil unique designs crafted specifically for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa markets, highlighting Dubai’s reputation as a hub for luxury, fashion, and travel. The precise location of the event remains under wraps.
The Spring 2024 collection, previously unveiled at New York Fashion Week, received widespread acclaim for its resort-ready ensembles reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s, echoing the styles of fashion icons like Jackie O and Jane Birkin.
Earlier in March, Kors captivated audiences in China with a two-day affair that included a cocktail party, dinner, and a live showing of his Spring 2023 collection, marking his efforts to broaden the brand’s global influence beyond his favored New York scene. Unlike Dubai’s upcoming full runway presentation, the China event was more of a showcase, yet it underscored Kors’ dedication to engaging with style-savvy crowds worldwide.
Originally debuted at Brooklyn’s Domino Park, the latest collection is infused with a breezy, romantic summer feel, featuring lace-detailed dresses and a soft, powdery color scheme. The collection also introduces versatile, timeless pieces ideal for daily fashion.
The Michael Kors brand, recently integrated into the Tapestry group alongside Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman, has significantly bolstered its presence in the region. This growth is evidenced by its retail outlets in prime shopping locations like the Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall, and its online presence through Ounass.
