If there is any name in the fashion world that
requires no introduction, it is Mr Michael Kors.
Since his first collection of womenswear was
ushered into America’s leading department stores
35 years ago, Kors has become one of fashion’s most
decorated and iconic names. With stores in prime
locations in the world’s most prestigious cities and
collections spanning luxury accessories, footwear,
men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, eyewear and
fragrances, the expanding empire of Michael Kors
has seen his signature jetsetter aesthetic welcomed
with great acclaim in all four corners of the globe.
From selling handmade clothes out of his family’s
basement when just a teenager, Mr Kors’ visionary
approach to fashion and unfailing eye for design
has not only seen him build his brand but also help
change the face of fashion itself. While the brand’s
jetsetter aesthetic is familiar to us today, it is one
that Kors has almost single handedly pioneered in
the fashion industry. Since its inception, the Michael
Kors brand has been dedicated to its founders’ vision
of fashion as sophisticated as it is indulgent, timeless
as it is modern, luxurious as it is simple. This vision
forged the Michael Kors aesthetic we are all familiar
with today, which in turn created the enduring luxury
lifestyle empire known throughout the world.

Frequently spotted sporting in a pair of
New Balance sneakers, Michael Kors is
a man who appreciates sporty comfort.
It is an element of his aesthetic he has
often integrated into his menswear
collections since they first debuted in
2002, and it is an element that is integral
to the Michael Kors SS17 menswear
collection.
Using premium and often lightweight
fabrics, the brand’s latest menswear
collection reimagines a man’s staple
pieces through Michael Kors’ sport-luxe
lens. With a colour palette of classic
navies and greys but also contemporary
Nantucket reds, this is a collection
that showcases the brand’s ability to
transform basic staples into key, luxury
pieces in your wardrobe.
From polos and tees to sweatpants
and hoodies, each piece demonstrates
Michael Kors’ meticulous attention to
detail with modern, clean silhouettes
that sit perfectly with the brand’s
jetsetter aesthetic. Whether looking
to give your own wardrobe a fresh
upgrade or inject some luxury into your
man’s wardrobe, the Michael Kors SS17
menswear collection should be your
first port of call for luxury basics.
