Although COVID-19 protocols
restricted his guest list, Kors said it gave
those in attendance an intimate experience.
"To be able to put on a live show to me is
thrilling. I love people to be able to
experience live fashion," said Kors.
The brand required all guests to be double
vaccinated, while staff, crews and press were
given on-site testing before being admitted into
the venue.
"Lots and lots of checking boxes and being so
unbelievably strict with the protocols," he
said.
Actress Kate Hudson, who is a friend of Kors,
was thrilled to be at her first show in many
months. "I'm so excited. And it's nice and
small, intimate, which I think is going to be
really lovely. But I haven't done this for a
long time so it feels a little odd and wonderful
all at the same time."
This season Kors decided to look at romance
through a streamlined and urban lens. The New
York native said his inspiration was not just
romantic love, but love of friends, family,
city, seeing people and more.
He said he created a collection that will help
celebrate those moments that we've all been
craving.

Models including Gigi Hadid and
Kendall Jenner paraded through an outdoor
garden, while Broadway star Ariana DeBose
performed live.
Kors said the collection was filled with charm.
"Lots of black and white in the collection," the
designer explained.
"A lot of gingham, which just puts a smile on my
face, I'm not a picnic kind of guy, but I can
have the fantasy. A lot of white embroidery, a
lot of white laces and eyelet and things like
that."
New York Fashion Week will end on Sept. 12.
