Iconic New York lies at the heart of Michael Kors’ upcoming runway show, taking place at 10 AM on Wednesday, February the 14th. From the venue- he Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Centre, to the invitations and artwork, designed by legendary theatre-poster artist James McMullan, the show celebrates the energy and creativity of the city that has long been the designer’s home and inspiration.

“I wanted the show to be a love letter to New York,” says Michael Kors. “I’m inspired by everything about the city- the electricity, the speed, the diversity, the individuality, and of course the art and food and fashion. So much of New York is iconic, from the architecture to the theatre to the faces, and anyone who’s ever been here has their own New York story. For me to show at Lincoln Centre, in a building designed by renowned architect Eero Saarinen, with artwork specifically created by James McMullan- that’s a New York story I wanted to share with everyone.”

The AW 18/19 Michael Kors Collection runway show will be livestreamed direct from NYC to Michael Kors’ international audience across MichaelKors.com, YouTube Live, Twitter LIVE, Instagram Live and Facebook Live. Other features designed to amplify the Fashion Week experience for customers include:
