The pandemic has forced fashion shows around the world to go virtual, leaving fashion designers no choice but to showcase their new collections via digital catwalks and showrooms.
Michael Kors, however, decided to present his fall and winter 2021 collection out in the open air to keep everyone safe from COVID-19. He shut down the 45th street in New York City last week and literally turned the Manhattan street into a runway.
