Michael Kors Marks 45 Years With Met Opera Runway at New York Fashion Week

Capri’s 5.6% holiday‑quarter sales decline for Michael Kors cast the high‑profile showcase as a statement of creative intent.

Overview

  • The presentation unfolded across two levels of the Metropolitan Opera’s grand entrance, using the red‑carpeted staircase, chandeliers and gold‑leaf ceiling as a theatrical setting.
  • The fall 2026 collection channeled old New York with fluid tailoring, cashmere knits and glossy coats offset by feather trims, paillettes and turtleneck dickeys for light layering.
  • Christy Turlington closed the show, with Alex Consani on the runway and a front row that included Dakota Fanning, Gabrielle Union‑Wade, Leslie Bibb and Anna Wintour.
  • Capri Holdings reported a 5.6% drop in Michael Kors brand sales in the holiday quarter, noting the label generates more than 80% of Capri’s revenue, and the shares fell 3.39% on Thursday.
  • Kors and guests continued the celebration at P.J. Clarke’s, where Rufus Wainwright performed, extending the event’s New York‑centric cultural moment beyond the runway.
