After a weekend of contrasting weather extremes, a refreshing breeze from the East River welcomed attendees to Michael Kors’ Spring/Summer 2024 show at the picturesque Domino Park in Brooklyn. The subway ride to the venue seemed to transition seamlessly into a dreamy Italian vacation, thanks to the collection’s thematic.
The moment the first model set foot on the flower-adorned catwalk, a resplendent white lace maxi dress captured everyone’s attention. Lace was indeed the star of the show, metamorphosed into a range of contemporary designs from crop tops to midi dresses. Whether it’s a bold black lace ensemble or blush pink lace shorts paired with a casual sweater, Kors gave attendees a glimpse of romantic dinners in an Italian ambiance.
Building on last year’s homage to relaxed resort life, the Spring/Summer 2024 collection heightened the emotional stakes without compromising on comfort. Kors described his new line as a “glamorous escape,” embodied in effortless caftans, airy sundresses, and stylish one-pieces that extend their appeal beyond beach settings.
One thing that never changes about a Michael Kors show is its pull for A-list celebrities. Spotted among the attendees this time were the likes of Blake Lively, Halle Berry, and Olivia Wilde. Their presence signifies that Kors’ influence in the fashion world extends beyond the garments—he’s an American cultural phenomenon.
What set this collection apart was its nuanced nod to the women’s liberation movement of the late 1960s and early ’70s. Through his artistry, Kors subtly wove in elements that celebrate the progress made in women’s rights while recognizing that there’s more ground to cover.
A frequent worry among fashion enthusiasts—what undergarments to pair with sheer outfits—was also addressed. This season, Kors is offering matching bras and panties, saving you from the hassle of finding the perfect undergarments online.
In sum, whether you’re soaking up the rays in Italy or savoring the atmosphere from a Brooklyn park, Michael Kors’ Spring/Summer 2024 collection underscores that a vacation is as much a state of mind as it is a place. This year, he has successfully brought that idyllic mindset straight to the runway.
