For Fall/Winter 2026, American designer Michael Kors focused on dramatic simplicity and the idea of reinvented wardrobe essentials. Tailoring meets softness with angled cuts, delicate draping and flowing layers. Classic textures from tweed to flannel were given modern twists. A new style of evening wear found the balance between strength and glamour. These included trousers with a train, men’s style shirts and opulent hand embroidery. Cocktail dresses with trains that doubled as wraps completed the look.
The color palette consisted of urban neutrals. Among them was Kors’ signature camel, known this season as ‘Fawn’. Strong colors such as ruby, raspberry and wine red set accents. The accessories reflected the architectural strength of the designer’s hometown. They have been combined with shoes designed for an active city life. The eye-catching outerwear underlined the strong character of the season.
A bespoke soundtrack by composer Sebastien Perrin picked up on the venue’s orchestral backdrop and underlined the glamor of the season. Models such as Liisa Winkler, Julia Nobis, Paloma Elsesser, Karolin Wolter, Ugbad Abdi, Alex Consani, Aymeline Valade, Amelia Gray and Devyn Garcia walked the catwalk. Legendary supermodel Christy Turlington closed the show.
There were prominent guests in the front row. They included Uma Thurman, Dakota Fanning, brand ambassador Suki Waterhouse, Gabrielle Union-Wade, Kelsea Ballerini and Mary J. Blige. Martha Stewart, Olivia Munn, Leslie Bibb, Rachel Zegler, Nicole Scherzinger, Audra McDonald and other friends of the brand were also present.
The festivities continued as guests made their way through Lincoln Center. They went to the traditional New York restaurant PJ Clarke’s, where they served cheeseburgers and martinis. A surprise piano performance by Grammy-nominated musician and artist Rufus Wainwright created a buzz.
