“When I think about what endures, it’s love – romantic love, but also love for your friends, your family and for your city,” says New York native, Michael Kors. “With this campaign, we wanted to bring to life urban romance and the unique juxtaposition of the strength and grit of New York City with the love that it inspires time and again,” he adds.

The Spring Summer 2022 collection captures the allure of urban romance through streamlined silhouettes, feminine tailoring, hand-worked fabrics and an optimistic colour palette, shrugging off economic doldrums and pandemic malaise. With NYFW emerging from the crisis, the latest Michael Kors ad campaign ushers in an era of positivity, with Kendall the persona that embodies the sophistication and strength at the heart of the collection, the brand explains.

Must-have handbags for the season include the sleek Audrey market bag, the modernist Audrey bucket bag and the woven straw Gramercy minaudière. For footwear, the kitten mule and stiletto sling-back make the case for heels for all occasions.

The collection will unfurl worldwide and will be sold in the Middle East at a special Michael Kors Collection pop-up at Mall of the Emirates in Dubai from April 28 to May 15 and on Ounass.ae
