The Michael Kors Spring 2027 collection has arrived on the runway, offering the brand’s signature sophisticated ready-to-wear for women at a moment when the business propping it up is under genuine pressure. Eight looks have been previewed so far, with more to follow, but the real story this season is as much spreadsheet as it is silhouette. Michael Kors Spring 2027 and the Business Behind It Michael Kors sits within Capri Holdings, alongside Jimmy Choo and Versace, and the group’s first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, covering the period ended 27 June 2026, show a brand pulling in the wrong direction.

LoveShackFancy Spring 2027 landed in Nolita with a clear message: the noughties aren’t over until Rebecca Hessel Cohen says they are. And she’s not saying it yet. The show took place at the new Dante on Elizabeth Street, a 10,000-square-foot Nolita outpost that joins the bar group’s existing Greenwich Village and West Village locations. It’s a venue still finding its feet, which made it a fitting backdrop for a collection about a time before everything got so thoroughly documented. LoveShackFancy Spring 2027 and the Pre-Instagram Fantasy Hessel Cohen’s reference point was the New York of her early career: magazine editors,…
The Collaborative Fund DC United deal is the latest sign that venture capital is getting serious about pro sports ownership, though Collaborative’s angle is less about buying a trophy asset and more about turning a football stadium into a live-activation platform for its own portfolio companies. Collaborative Fund, the New York-based generalist venture firm with roughly $1 billion under management and early bets on Lyft, Reddit, Sweetgreen, and Olipop, is acquiring a stake in D.C. United and its home ground, Audi Field. The deal awaits MLS approval. How Collaborative Fund’s DC United Play Differs from the Thrive Playbook The firm…
The Kate Barton Spring 2027 collection, shown at New York Fashion Week in September 2026, is the most convincing argument yet that the young designer is ready to play in the contemporary luxury space for real. Not just in the avant-garde-for-its-own-sake way. Actually ready. The research method was, admittedly, very on-brand for the moment: a summer in Montauk, camera in hand, watching how women actually dress when they have money to spend and nowhere particular to be. ‘I took a lot of photos of people out there, because it’s really helpful to see what women are actually wearing. And I…
The Bad Binch TongTong Spring 2027 ready-to-wear collection landed in one of the more theatrically ambitious settings of the season: the Balloon Museum in New York’s Seaport district, where digitally flooded rooms and grassy floors dusted with paper snow set the mood before guests even found their seats.Terrence Zhou, the conceptual designer behind Bad Binch TongTong, has always treated fashion as something closer to ritual than retail. The Spring 2027 show made that legible to anyone who walked through the door.A Circular Room, 24 Looks, and a Past Life as a Witch DoctorAfter wandering through the museum’s immersive exhibits, guests…
The TWP Spring 2027 collection arrived on a Thursday morning at 21 Howard Street in New York, the address that designer Trish Wescoat Pound has marked as the permanent home of her label. Transformation was the pitch. The clothes, at least partly, made the case. Pound showed 36 looks, working across a palette of womenswear that leaned hard into restraint. According to data compiled by TFashion AI, 78% of the looks registered as minimalist in aesthetic, with 53% coded as quiet luxury styling and twill emerging as the dominant fabric. Those percentages come from an AI aggregator, so take the…
The Giovanna Flores spring 2027 ready-to-wear collection is, by almost any conventional measure, not how fashion is supposed to work in 2027, and that is precisely why it is working so well. Flores, a Los Angeles-raised designer based in Brooklyn, builds clothes largely alone: sourcing, draping, cutting, and finishing by hand, using recycled and deadstock materials, producing pieces that are, per her official shop, each genuinely one-of-one. ‘It just feels like summer in a really nice, wholesome, sweet way. I felt that energy a lot in these pieces,’ Flores said of the collection. The sentiment tracks. There is a looseness…
The Listen Labs Salesforce acquisition has moved from rumour to reality, with Salesforce signing a definitive agreement to buy the AI-powered market research startup in a deal reported to be worth around $2 billion. The twist: Listen Labs walked away from a signed term sheet for a $125 million Series C at a $1.5 billion valuation to get here, a rare move that raised eyebrows across the venture world before the reason became clear.Menlo Ventures had been set to lead that Series C round, which never closed. In the venture industry, walking away from a signed term sheet is considered…
Monique Lhuillier Spring 2027 ready-to-wear arrives with a stated mission of restraint, which is either a bold pivot or a very clever piece of brand positioning, depending on your level of cynicism about fashion week declarations. The collection’s official theme, per the brand’s own lookbook, is ‘the transformative beauty of the season through a collection alive with color, movement and modern romance.’ Lhuillier herself put it more directly: ‘Spring was all about modern, dark romance.’ Whatever the framing, the ambition was consistent. She wanted less froo-froo. Draping as a Design Philosophy, Not a Safety Net The season’s clearest creative statement…
Rachel Comey Spring 2027 ready-to-wear landed at New York Fashion Week in September 2026 as something rarer than a milestone collection: a love letter to a polymath most of the front row had probably never Googled. The show, titled Kindred Spirits, marked 25 years in business for the designer, according to WWD. A quarter-century in independent New York fashion is its own kind of stubborn achievement, and Comey chose to celebrate it not with a retrospective or a celebrity front row stunt, but by pointing the whole thing at Rosalyn Drexler. Who Is Rosalyn Drexler, and Why Does She Belong…
