Frequently Asked Questions
Michael Kors Resort 2018 brings the designer’s jet-set woman to the islands, drawing inspiration from getaways to Bora Bora and Hydra. The collection mixes natural prints, loose silhouettes and bright shades, with pieces designed to move from the beach to the city.
The collection features bold florals and natural prints alongside geometric pajama and cabana stripes, with shades of brown, a black-and-white foundation and a bright yellow accent. Kors also introduced his first conversational print in 36 years, a vacation scene reading “Michael Kors welcomes you.”
Resort 2018 favors loose, fluid silhouettes, including easy separates, flowing dresses and pareo-inspired pieces, alongside sarongs and a strappy maillot for the beach. Structured tailoring, such as a black sleeveless coat over white crepe trousers, balances out the relaxed shapes.
Black pieces in the collection use tassels and braided details to add a touch of whimsy to an all-black outfit, while bright yellow is toned down with infusions of black for a moodier take. The styling keeps the island mood while staying wearable in the city.
Michael Kors presented Resort 2018 at the Whitney Museum in New York. The collection’s yellow accent was inspired by construction vehicles visible from the museum venue, and the presentation extended his jet-set woman to the islands for the Resort season.
