Michael Kors Announced The Launch Of Their Spring/Summer 2023 Collection Ad Campaign

The collection aims to balance the harshness of a city with the laid-back allure of resort life. It is an array of sarongs and kaftans to sharply tailored suits and Chesterfield coats in a palette of crisp white, graphic black, tropical lime and bold poppy balanced by soft pearl, silver, dune and gold tones. Movement and light accentuate the high-shine sequins and liquid fabrics, contrasting the architectural silhouettes and sculptural jewellery. The result is a wardrobe that celebrates the body and outfits that work fabulously wherever one wears them.
