On September 11th, clouds hung low over the banks of the East River, where Michael Kors (@michaelkors) bedecked the railings with bougainvillea and presented his Spring/Summer 2024 collection. You couldn’t help but think, at least fleetingly, of the smoke that enveloped this skyline exactly 22 years ago, but even though we could see the site where the Towers once stood, we were too far away to hear the commemorations, the bagpipes and the tolling of bells.⁠

In any case, Kors was looking back further than two decades — his heart was in those halcyon days of the 1970s, a love poem to a barefoot Jackie in Capri, to Jane Birkin before a handbag was named after her. Kors honoured Birkin, who passed away in July, with a trilogy of white lace offerings that opened the show, and if these weren’t dramatic enough for you, there was an evening rendition in gold lace with bell sleeves. This designer likes to have something for everyone: the casting was delightfully size-inclusive, and the full range — 65 looks! — included black-and-white bovine-printed trenches, long gauzy skirts, a comfy fuzzy fuchsia pullover, and an overblown floral caftan for lounging by the pool at Le Sirenuse.⁠
