Renowned New York-based designer Michael Kors is making headlines as he prepares to showcase his highly anticipated Fall/Winter 2021 collection in a unique and innovative way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his eponymous brand. Set to take place on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, Kors will unveil his collection through a “multi-layered digital experience” accessible worldwide via his social and digital platforms.
A proud native New Yorker with a deep love for Broadway, Michael Kors is using this milestone to draw attention to the challenges facing the struggling theater community in NYC amid the Covid-19 pandemic. To show his support, Kors, along with his namesake company, will be making a charitable donation to The Actors Fund, a crucial organization that provides assistance and promotes resilience among performing arts professionals.
Expressing his gratitude for being able to follow his passion for four decades, Kors highlighted the significance of giving back to the city that has played a pivotal role in shaping his career. “I’ve been fortunate to do what I love my whole life, and I want to use this celebration to spotlight another institution that means a great deal to me, and that could use our support—the New York theater community,” he stated.
In a departure from the traditional fashion calendar, Kors has opted out of showing at New York Fashion Week this season, joining the ranks of other iconic American designers like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein. While their absence was notable during the CFDA-organized event in February, fashion enthusiasts can look forward to the online debut of Michael Kors’ 40th-anniversary collection in April. Stay tuned for a fusion of style and philanthropy as Kors honors his fashion legacy while supporting the arts community.
