First Michael Kors runway show outside of New York to take place in Dubai

The upcoming presentation of the spring/summer 2024 collection is set to be an exclusive affair, with a limited guest list of 250 individuals comprising top clients, international press, celebrities, and influencers. The event will be globally live-streamed for a wider audience. The showcase, dedicated to the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, will take place in a city synonymous with luxury, fashion, and travel. However, the venue remains undisclosed at this time.

Michael Kors garnered acclaim for the spring 2024 runway show in New York during Fashion Week, where resort-ready looks influenced by the '60s and '70s captivated audiences. The collection paid homage to iconic figures such as Jackie O and Jane Birkin. In a departure from the traditional runway format, the designer hosted a two-day event in China in March, featuring a cocktail party, dinner, and a live presentation of the spring 2023 collection. This move underscores Kors' dedication to broadening the global presence of his brand and engaging with fashion-forward audiences. The latest collection, initially unveiled at Brooklyn's Domino Park, emanates a distinctly summery and romantic ambiance. Adorned with lace, the dresses and a palette of powdery hues evoke holiday vibes. The line also introduces essential and timeless pieces crafted for effortless everyday wear.

Michael Kors, now part of the Tapestry group (owner of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman), has made significant inroads into the region over the past two years. The brand has established boutiques in prestigious shopping destinations like the Mall of Emirates and Dubai Mall, in addition to its presence on the e-commerce platform Ounass.
