Michael Kors's 40th anniversary celebrates Broadway and its 2021 Fall/Winter Collection
Michael Kors is celebrating its 40th anniversary this 2021, and its Fall/Winter collection show is a star-studded digital runway experience, which serves as the iconic fashion designer's love letter to New York City.
The almost 30-minute Broadway-themed show called "Michael Kors Lights Up Broadway" was divided into three parts.
In the first part, Michael Kors himself presents his Fall/Winter 2021 collection and discusses the great advocacy behind it.
Michael confessed his love for Broadway and acknowledged that the theater industry is one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

So, aside from paying tribute to New York City's theater industry through his show, Michael Kors also made a personal donation to the organization called Actors Fund, to show his support for those affected by the economic consequences.
Michael Kors, the fashion company, donated to the organization as well.
The second part features Broadway's biggest stars' framed video on the walls of the popular Manhattan restaurant, Sardi's, Michael's favorite pre-theater dining spot.
In a funny and informative conversation, the celebrities congratulated Michael Kors on his fashion empire's 40th anniversary and also encouraged people to make a donation to Actors Fund.
Some of these stars include Bette Midler, Rosario Dawson, Cynthia Nixon, Matt Bomer, Marisa Tomei, Sara Bareilles, Chita Rivera, Alan Cumming, Billy Porter and many more.
