MICHAEL KORS UNVEILS FALL 2019 MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS AND MICHAEL KORS MEN’S AD CAMPAIGN

Michael Kors is pleased to announce the release of a new Fall 2019 ad campaign for MICHAEL Michael Kors and Michael Kors Men’s, starring Bella Hadid and Austin Augie and shot in studio by legendary photographer David Sims.

Featuring action-packed, high-octane stills and video, the new campaign—dubbed “Hell on Wheels”—plays on the brand’s travel roots and the jet set lifestyle that has long inspired designer Michael Kors. “The original jet set of the ‘60s and ‘70s showed the world how to live a fast-paced life in the most glamorous way possible,” says Michael. “Today, between the Internet and all the ways that people move through the world, we’re constantly in motion, and I wanted the images to reflect that.”

The mix of props and motion showcases jet set style in a bold, modern way with Bella always on the move, and Austin, a professional BMX rider, on his bike, emphasizing the brand’s tenets of speed, energy and optimism. “From the styling to the energy and the movement, this season’s campaign reflects today’s jet set approach to modern life,” says Michael.

The Fall 2019 MICHAEL Michael Kors apparel and accessories tap into customers’ desire for elevated sportswear that can keep up with a high-speed life. A graphic mix of zebra stripes, rock ‘n’ roll studs and the brand’s Signature logo print lend a versatile appeal to the season while statement cheetah prints punctuate everyday must-haves. For a chic escape, the Bedford group of travel luggage in Signature logo gets updated with red racing stripes.

For Michael Kors Men’s, Austin sports urban essentials including outerwear, separates, and accessories. An array of travel luggage, including the Brooklyn backpack, duffle bag and hip pack, rounds out the season. Coupled with Augie’s athleticism, the campaign brings jet set to new heights.

The global campaign will debut in August, with print ads running in fall issues worldwide. The images will also appear in digital outlets, as well as social media platforms and traditional outdoor media placement. 

In the Philippines, Michael Kors is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., and is located at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Greenbelt 5, Newport Mall, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Makati, and Shangri-La Plaza Mall.

Tory Burch Collection: Fall/Winter 2019

“Our Fall/Winter 2019 collection is inspired by Black Mountain College, known for its unconventional approach to education and for shaping the trajectory of modern art in America. This season is a mix-match of revamped classics — floral prints, graphic stripes, menswear materials and romantic silhouettes. There’s a modern eccentricity to raw fringe, exaggerated ruffles, knife pleats, cut-glass jewelry, deconstructed bags and sharp boots.” — Tory Burch

Silhouettes: Fall/Winter 2019 reflects an effortless modernity with uncomplicated, relaxed silhouettes. Polished pieces — tailored trousers, structured loden coats, and classic blazers — balance billowy shapes. There is a refined magpie approach to layering — sporty parkas draped over evening gowns, a striped slip under a gauzy shirt dress.

Palette: Rooted in muted neutrals — crisp white, black and the brand’s signature navy — the collection is warmed up with earthy, autumnal hues of umber brown, deep red and cayenne. Pops of vibrant color — bright yellow and green — inject energy.

Prints & Patterns: Bold stripes, vivid paisleys and feminine florals play off one another to unexpected effect. A collage print blends archival photography and whimsical illustration.

Fabrications: Herringbones and checks are coolly classic, while crochet patches convey an understated nostalgia. Fluid ruffles and a print-on-pleat technique bring movement and dimension. Sequins and square-shaped paillettes add a rich luster. Deliberately unfinished embroideries are raw and imperfect, nodding to technical artistry of Anni Albers, a central figure at Black Mountain.

Accessories: The textural mix carries through to accessories. Loafers — a mélange of velvet, leather, and brass hardware—have a bookish sophistication while high-shine Mary Janes bring a retro girlish allure. Variations on our iconic Lee handbag — including a new deconstructed version — are key.  Bold glass crystal earrings and pull-on boots channel an Eighties vibe.

Music: Produced by Michel Gaubert; “Crawfish,” by Elvis Presley and Kitty White; “M.A.Y. in the Backyard,” by Ryuichi Sakamoto; “Hurt So Bad,” by Little Anthony & the Imperials; “Love Me Tender,” by Elvis Presley.
