Michael Kors mixes uptown polish with glitz in a celebration of ‘stepping out’

The veteran designer's New York fashion week collection bets on a return to going out and post-pandemic exuberance

When it comes to ways to warm up a fashion crowd on a cold New York evening, singer Miguel performing Prince covers is probably a pretty safe bet. That's what was served up at Michael Kors' autumn/winter 2022 show at New York fashion week on Tuesday evening.

If Kors' shows are typically razzle-dazzle affairs with lots of invitees and celebrity guests - a February 2019 extravaganza had Barry Manilow singing Copacabana and a glitter gun - this had the star performer but it was a more intimate affair.
