Michael Kors Kicks off Pride With Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center Partnership And Interview Magazine Collaboration
Michael Kors is pleased to announce a partnership with the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC), along with a celebratory Pride event in collaboration with Interview Magazine and editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg this June.
The brand will also be releasing its Pride 2023 product capsule on May 25, consisting of three pieces. The capsule includes the Slater sling pack and Elliot backpack, both in sleek black with a rainbow-hued chain strap for a pop of Pride color. A sparkling, limited-edition Raquel pavé watch, complete with kaleidoscopic rainbow trim around the dial, rounds out the assortment.
In keeping with the celebratory spirit of Pride, designer Michael Kors will be joining Interview Magazine Editor-in-Chief Mel Ottenberg for an intimate conversation at The Stonewall Inn in the West Village at the end of June, with a party to follow.
As part of its ongoing commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, Michael Kors is also proud to announce a new partnership with the SNMVC through an initial charitable donation and a co-branded tote that will remain on sale throughout the year. The mission of SNMVC, of which designer Michael Kors is a founding supporter, is to preserve, advance and celebrate the legacy of the Stonewall Rebellion and the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. The black canvas tote will feature a rainbow MK charm on the outside, with the SNMVC logo on the interior. One hundred percent of the profits from the sale of the tote in the U.S. through Michael Kors retail stores and MichaelKors.com will benefit the SNMVC. The tote will launch on June 20 at select Michael Kors stores and on michaelkors.com, as well as on the SNMVC website. It will also be available in the SNMVC’s gift shop, set to open in 2024.
