Michael Kors went big at New York Fashion Week. Keep scrolling to view each classic look.

If there's one thing Michael Kors knows, it's New York City. Last season, the designer paid homage to the Big Apple for his 40th-anniversary collection with a show staged in the heart of the Theater District. While the fanfare of the occasion was muffled by the COVID-19 pandemic which prevented an audience from attending, his Spring/Summer 2022 collection makes up for it tenfold.
Drawing on the theme of "urban romance," Kors presented a series of timeless pieces that serve as a love letter to the city. Kendall Jenner opened the show in a chic black two-piece ensemble as singer Ariana DeBose covered jazzy numbers by Nina Simone and Nat King Cole, as well as "Somewhere (There's a Place for Us)" from the Broadway musical West Side Story.

The Spring/Summer 2022 Michael Kors Collection Runway Show

In Kors' signature style, he gravitated towards a subdued color palette of black, white, tan,&nbsp; and red, and pink, as well as select splashes of baby blue and animal print. As expected, the collection showcased Kors' penchant for tailoring and crisp silhouettes.
However, between the setting, the classic New York song choices (without being too on the nose), and the actual garments, the collection is more than a representation of love in the city, but of the city. There's an acute appreciation fostered throughout the show for everything N.Y.C. represents&mdash;fashion, culture, art, diversity, romance, etc.&mdash;and the feelings it evokes&mdash;joy, love, whimsy, passion.
With Kors, it's redundant to say that his ready-to-wear designs are made with the typically stylish New Yorker in mind&mdash;that's the DNA sewed into the fabric of his brand. But in this collection, Kors invites his fellow Manhattanites to join him in celebrating the city's reopening by embracing the simple truths that give N.Y.C. a singular joie de vivre unlike anywhere else in the world.
