<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/michael-kors-first-children-line-jet-set-girls-spring-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Kors</a>&nbsp;has surprised us again with a new capsule collaborating with the Italian sportswear brand Ellesse. The unexpected partnership marks one of Michael Kors' biggest brand initiatives this year so far. The collaboration is fronted by model-turned-writer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/emily-ratajkowski-nft-richard-prince-instagram-painting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Emily Ratajkowski</a> with her to-die-for abs on full view, alongside effortlessly cool <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/instagram-brooklyn-museum-black-design-visionaries-grant-recipients-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn</a>-native rapper Jay Critch, and Queens-born musician Wolftyla. The other faces include Japanese super-influencer Kemio and models Herzen Clerge, Lexi Boling, and Lucas Ucedo.

The collection was shot by Lachlan Bailey and styled by Mel Ottenberg, Creative Director of Interview Magazine. Captured on a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/ganni-spring-2020-runway-show-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tennis court</a> in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/mr-c-miami-coconut-grove-hotel-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami</a>, the images transport you to a stress-free relaxing place, radiating from the images' warm colors. The campaign video features matching <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/history-of-tennis-whites-trend-summer-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tennis rackets</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/pauline-chalamet-actress-short-films-brother-timothee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">old camera filters</a>, adding to the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jean-paul-gaultier-vintage-rental-service-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vintage feel</a>.

The collection&rsquo;s 24 pieces follow a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/abba-70s-photos-new-album-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">playful '70s color story</a>, with Ellesse&rsquo;s recognizable colors of bright oranges and flaming reds. These shades alongside <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/meet-the-new-face-of-michael-kors-for-this-spring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Kors'</a> deep navy and crisp naturally curate a retro color scheme. The prints are playful and the vintage-style swimsuits, jackets, pants, sneakers, slides, and bucket hats all have a sporty edge. All pieces indicate an active summer... in style.

As Michael Kors has begun to introduce more sporty capsules with the warmer weather, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/michael-kors-first-children-line-jet-set-girls-spring-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">like its new children's line</a>, the brand has stayed true to its signature colors.
