MICHAEL KORS CRANKS UP THE HEAT FOR SS26

With a campaign fronted by everyone’s favourites Suki Waterhouse and Danny Ramirez, Michael Kors unveils what it has in store for Spring 26 – reimagining classics through the brand’s jet set spirit.

It’s never too early to start summer dreaming – and Michael Kors knows it. As our minds drift towards warmer, looser days, the American powerhouse transports us to Saint-Tropez for Spring 26, unveiling a season steeped in Riviera nonchalance. Fronted by Brand Ambassadors Suki Waterhouse and Danny Ramirez, the campaign captures the pair’s sun-drenched escape, weaving through the French coast in pieces that feel both perennial and freshly cut for the season. Shot through the lens of Lachlan Bailey, the story is all breeze-kissed hair, languid afternoons and that unmistakable Côte d’Azur charm.

“Stunning natural beauty, rustic charm, effortless glamour – Saint-Tropez has it all,” says designer Michael Kors. “It’s the perfect backdrop for our Spring campaign, which is all about relaxed sophistication.”

This is Michael Kors in its natural habitat, sun-chasing, beach-hopping, eternally in transit. Touching down in the South of France, the Hamilton Moderne returns in Riviera-inflected hues – mimosa, dress blues and chambray – reclaiming its place as the ultimate warm-weather companion, gliding from shoreline to beach club without missing a beat.

For SS26, the iconic silhouette is reworked once more, this time in an open-weave construction that lends it an airy, tactile ease. Available as both a streamlined satchel and a statement tote, it comes in black, white and peanut. As ever, the house’s signature lock charm punctuates the design, a flash of hardware anchoring its breezy insouciance in unmistakable Michael Kors polish.

Proof that classics never really retire, they simply head to the coast, the Nolita joins the Riviera reverie, reimagined in denim and striking the perfect counterpoint to swathes of airy cotton and abbreviated hemlines. So, are you ready to start assembling your dream summer arsenal? Michael Kors hands you the itinerary. Below, five pieces from the brand’s Spring 26 we’re already mentally packing.
