Michael Kors - Earthy Elegance For our cover story, we chose to highlight American fashion designer Michael Kors (michaelkors.com) and his latest Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Earthy Elegance. The collection arrives with a sense of calm authority and stands as our favorite of the season. Presented at the Terminal Warehouse in Chelsea, New York, it marks a return to softness as a form of confidence, where glamour is expressed through touch, movement, and restraint rather than spectacle. Draping and soft tailoring define the season, with wrapped blazers, poet blouses, and draped culottes shaping the body gently, while caftans and flowing tunics move with air and ease. Veils of translucent silk voile skim over subtle paillettes, creating a lightness that feels sensual without excess. “This is probably the softest collection that I’ve ever done, but it’s softness with strength,” says Michael Kors. “I like this yin and yang, where people feel comfortable and relaxed, but at the same time, they feel indulged. They feel glamorous.” That duality has long defined Kors’ work. From redesigning his mother’s wedding dress as a child on Long Island to launching his first women’s collection at Bergdorf Goodman in 1981, Kors built a career on accessible sophistication. His tenure as creative director of Céline in the late 1990s reshaped modern luxury through sharp tailoring and covetable accessories, and his return to his own label solidified a vision of American luxury that is polished, pragmatic, and deeply wearable. Earthy Elegance feels like a distillation of that journey.
