This season, to officially open up New York Fashion Week with an almighty bang, the CFDA looked to Michael Kors to kick-start the fashion festivities. The show was a star-studded affair, with names like Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Wilde, and Lisa Rina descending upon Terminal Warehouse, Chelsea for the occasion. The Fall 2025 season saw the American designer drawing inspiration from the sleek interiors of his Madison Avenue store. This season, Kors was inspired by his beach house. Inside the vast showspace setting, models (like Angelina Kendall, Paloma Elsesser, and Frankie Rayder) emerged from backstage dressed in a collection of monochromatic separates, softly tailored suits, and gowns that shimmered with ease.
Michael Kors Collection Spring 2026 Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“I like it, probably the only NYFW show I will enjoy this season. The soundtrack is sublime. Is this very original? No, this is very Max Mara for New Yorker, very European. But still MK has standards and his taste is quite chic. There are a lot of good pieces in this collection.” [THD96]
“It’s alright. Noting memorable, but I like how comfortable and easy everything looks.” [Avonlea]
“This feels like a watered down version of the more alluring The Row collections in the 2010s – decent for the standard of today NYFW.” [Kanzai]
“I like it. I like it because those are just simple, plain clothes that a lot of women could wear during spring and summer. It doesn’t look very fashion, it doesn’t add anything to anything, but it serves a purpose very well.” [Lola701]
“The colour palette is sublime. Absolutely love all those earthy tones, and the salmon pink and soft ochre splashed throughout the collection. Everything just looks so effortless, sophisticated, and most importantly: wearable. A 10/10 from me!” [vogue28]
