Michael Kors and Ellesse launch their retro tennis-inspired capsule collection with campaign star Emily Ratajkowski.
Chic, bold and luxe, Michael Kors’ new capsule with Italian sports apparel retailer Ellesse (ellesse.com) takes us back to the ’70s with an updated twist on classic courtside apparel. Embellished with a unique insignia that combines the logos of the two powerhouse fashion brands, the collection features 24 tennis-inspired pieces that can be found on sports pros and fashionistas alike. The capsule gives a fresh and inspired take on current athleisure trends, with retro-cool pieces like cotton track pants and shorts to be paired with brightly decorated cropped tops and zip-ups. The line’s bags and accessories sport a unique waved pattern featuring the Michael Kors x Ellesse emblem, including men’s swim trunks and a nylon and spandex one-piece women’s swimsuit. The brand celebrated the collection launch by holding an exclusive shopping experience with campaign star Emily Ratajkowski for lucky patrons at the Michael Kors Rockefeller Center store. Later in the day, Ratajkowski headed up to Bar SixtyFive at the top of the Rock in a bright orange sequined dress from the Michael Kors Collection fall/winter 2022 to join friends of the brand for a toast to the new collaboration. Deejayed by artist Soo Joo Park, the party was attended by notable guests like Jay Critch, Amelia Gray Hamlin, Priah Ferguson, Wolftyla, Young Emperors, Tina Leung, Batsheva Hay, Sai De Silva and many more. Whether you’re perfecting your backhand or lounging courtside this summer, this collaboration is a must-have for your wardrobe. 30 Main St, Southampton, 631.283.2633, michaelkors.com
