Stepping out in New York was the theme of Michael Kors’ Fall/Winter 2022 runway show, which was presented at the iconic music venue Terminal 5 in Manhattan today at 8 PM (ET)—marking the music venue’s first fashion show, and the designer’s first live evening show. From the runway, which was illuminated to echo city lights, to a musical performance by Miguel, the show celebrated the allure and energy of New York City at night.
Starting with his Spring/Summer 2020 presentation, Michael has used the occasion of his runway shows to shine a light on his hometown. From a New York Restoration Project community garden to the theater district to Tavern on the Green and now Terminal 5, the designer has worked to reignite the spirit that drives New York City.
“For this show, I wanted to bring the excitement and energy of a night on the town to life—because I think right now, no matter where you are, we’re all craving that,” says Michael Kors. “And the clothes are really everything you need for stepping up, stepping out and making an entrance.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was among the A-list front row, which also included Blake Lively, Brooke Shields, Ariana DeBose, Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia Spencer, Addison Rae and more.
“Michael Kors is the epitome of made in New York,” says Mr. Adams. He’s not only been a leader in the fashion industry for four decades, but has been there for New York when the city has needed him most. As COVID devastated our city, Michael stepped up and got to work helping to rebuild so many industries hard hit by the pandemic. From shining a spotlight on charitable organizations to supporting our schools to paying homage to Broadway, Michael has helped us with recovery efforts every step of the way. New York City owes this icon a debt of gratitude and I am excited to see everything he does next, both on and off the runway.”
A musical performance by Grammy-Award winning artist Miguel set the mood as models Natasha Poly, Emily Ratajkowski, Adut Akech, Precious Lee, Malgosia Bela, Paloma Elsesser, Alton Mason, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Isabeli Fontana, Irina Shayk, Sherry Shi, Karmen Pedaru and more walked the runway against the illuminated backdrop. Chosen for his unique style and dynamic stage presence, Miguel performed anthemic songs including Raspberry Beret, as well as his hits Pineapple Skies and Sure Thing, providing the perfect soundtrack for the collection.
Playing with the art of revealing and concealing—of being both covered up and provocative—the runway included everything from short hemlines and thigh-high boots to dramatic hoods and skin-baring cutouts. Shades of camel, chocolate and banker
grounded pops of electric fuchsia, orange and yellow while menswear tweeds, plaid and flannel played against glamorous paillettes and crystal embroidery for a wardrobe that was made for stepping up and stepping out.
The virtual experience premiered on the brand’s social and digital channels, including MichaelKors-Collection.com, which serves as the hub for all Fall/Winter 2022 Michael Kors Collection content. The programming was also available to the brand’s international audience across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, as well as on WeChat, Weibo, LINE and Kakao.

Pre autumn/winter 2023 womenswear collection
An exploration of beauty and power through tailoring and a focus on cut, proportion and silhouette. The classic subverted: wardrobe spliced and slashed. Uniform is re-imagined. Hyper nature. Solarized flowers appear alongside bright pinks, yellows and reds and elaborate crystal embroideries.
Emirati based designer, Ayten AlKhayat, launched her brand in 2016 wishing to change the perception of women in the Middle-East.
The brand has created a connection between structure, craftsmanship and fabric, highlighting both the femininity and strength of the woman. It was born out of a desire to encapsulate the compassion, empathy and core strength that is central to womanhood.
At the helm of this vision is designer Ayten AlKhayat epitomising the international woman she dresses, she has amalgamated the influences brought about by her European, African and middle eastern heritage to bridge the gap and highlight her lifelong passion for design, ethical issues and organic materials. Dissatisfied with the status quo and the propensity for using man made substances, Ayten launched a brand that would serve the need for natural fabrics and materials whilst creating beautiful pieces within a world of luxury.
Working with Synthesis in mind, the brand has created a collection: clothing that shares a utopian utility. The strength yet wistful nature of women is explored through the disposition of high-end textiles and complex craftsmanship layered onto tones inspired by earth. Intertwined in this brand’s DNA is a woman’s landscape, associated with utopia, freedom, strength, solidarity, and intrinsically death and rebirth.
Il direttore artistico di Byblos, Manuel Facchini, disegna una collezione ispirata al senso profondo della vita, il DNA, da cui prende forma ogni essere vivente.
Un senso di movimento ed energia che riflette la Natura dinamica del DNA e del mondo naturale, la cui ricchezza e complessità sono rappresentati da una vasta gamma di colori, motivi e materiali che evidenziano l’importanza dell’inclusività e della diversità nella natura, così come nella nostra società.
La collezione Byblos FW23 è un potente richiamo alla Bellezza e alla Meraviglia del mondo naturale e una celebrazione delle numerose differenti forme che la vita può assumere cosi come della sua perfezione, indipendentemente dalla forma o colore che assume.
Enfatizzando la spirale del DNA della collezione, Byblos trasmette un senso di vivacità e dinamismo anche attraverso un’ampia gamma di colori: dal verde al giallo, passando dal fuxia al rosso scarlatto e precipitando nel profondo black rock.
Per la stagione FW23, il Byblos World si snoda a spirale, celebrando l’incantevole diversità che rende unico ogni essere umano.
Motivi sinuosi, ispirati alla doppia elica del DNA, si intrecciano perfettamente con le curve del corpo, accarezzandole e accentuando la personalità esplosiva del Brand: innovazione eco-high-tech, dettagli rock in una visione precisa e contemporanea.
Cappotti cocoon oversize in morbido mohair dai colori esplosivi si alternano a caban piumini double-face. Blazer sartoriali dai tagli rigorosi, evidenziati da spalle ampie ma irreprensibili nella loro geometria grafica. Pantaloni genderless che mescolano i cromosomi X e Y, creando un equilibrio fluido, audace, senza legami e senza confini.
L’iconica “Infinity” BRA-BELT in ecopelle spessorata, dalla forma elicoidale che richiama il simbolo dell’infinito, avvolge e protegge delicatamente la vita o il seno.
Abiti a spirale che si sfilacciano organicamente sulle spalle creando bretelle inedite, simbolo dei cromosomi, mentre in vita si sciolgono in impalpabili pieghe organiche, plastica espressione di telomeri inossidabili. Motivi ad elica si insinuano asimmetrici negli abiti da cocktail in crêpe, sottolineati da micro incrostazioni di strass ton sur ton
Il décolleté si avvolge in un vortice elicoidale a spirale, rivelando e celando, al tempo stesso.
Ricami, rigorosamente made in Italy, sottolineano con vinili e strass gli intrecci e le forme tipiche dei cromosomi in una spirale inesorabile che avvolge e protegge come un’armatura micro abiti, coprispalle e top.
Fluidi cady di viscosa, morbidi fresco di lana, impalpabili mohair contrastano con cotoni armaturati, double di lana e tessuti tecnici.
Daywear in cotone intrecciato per cargo oversize multi-tasche (e multi-tasking) con doppio fondo (contenuto vertiginosamente da una zip, o super-over aperte “a delta” al fondo, regolabile, a seconda delle necessità) e minigonne “inside out” esibiscono la mezza elica laterale, caratteristico tratto geneticamente creato nella Collezione.
La massima espressione della collezione Byblos “DNA” è rappresentata dai chokers a semi-spirale genderless insieme a maxi e mini orecchini in ottone rodiato, studiati attraverso il design computazionale con programmi di architettura parametrica. Una tecnologia avanzata che permette di realizzare creazioni estremamente complesse e dettagli estremamente miniaturizzati, che sono generalmente utilizzati nell’architettura 3D e creati attraverso l’utilizzo di stampe 3D di ultima generazione, prive di punti di saldatura che ne contaminerebbero la pulizia estetica: così come in Natura, in Byblos.
