Michael Kors SS21: Urban Romance

September 16, 2021

That warm fuzzy feeling you get when infatuated with someone is how designer Michael Kors feels about the bustling streets of New York. From the different languages that you hear when you walk by others to the smells of food from different cultures, the city is always keeping us on our toes. The collection embodied love during the springtime showing at none other than Tavern on the Green in Central Park where love stories are being born each day.

Entertainer Ariana DeBose, performed as models glided through the runway like true New Yorkers. God’s Love We Deliver, a charity that is close to the designer’s heart was featured throughout the show and even had a piece that paid homage to it — a sleek cashmere sweater. This organization founded by Ganga Stone and Jane Best in 1985, makes meals that are medically tailored to people living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other illnesses in New York. When Michael Kors thinks of love the designer instantly thought of God’s Love We Deliver as the perfect definition.

“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.
