New York-headquartered American luxury brand Michael Kors‘ long heritage of marrying fashion and travel is once again apparent in its latest campaign for its Fall 2025 collection. Continuing its “Hotel Stories” content series, the spotlight is put on a boutique hotel in the brand’s featured destination each season, highlighting the coveted jetset lifestyle. For this season, MK focuses on the Grand Hotel Plaza in the historical heart of Rome, starring brand ambassadors Suki Waterhouse and Logan Lerman as photographed by Lachlan Bailey in Rome, Italy.
“Rome, for me, is just a city that inspires awe, no matter how much time I spend there. It’s cinematic, it’s dramatic, it’s urban, it’s got a pulse, and it has all this incredible natural beauty and history,” designer Michael Kors shared in a press statement. “When you combine that with the modern laid-back elegance of Suki Waterhouse and the classic movie star energy that Logan Lerman brings, it creates an unforgettable campaign.”
For the campaign in Rome, the brand’s ambassador, English actress Suki, is decked in chic MK ensembles of course, and your eyes are bound to automatically check out the super cool fringe details— from her boots, to the trench coat dress, and to the famous Michael Kors Hamilton Moderne purse!
The wanderlust-inspired Rome content has been translated here in the Philippines with SSI’s intimate Michael Kors Fall 2025 Collection Preview event held recently at the Legacy Suite of Raffles Hotel in Makati City.
Models, influencers, and the press members were invited to check out the new offerings from the new MK “Hotel Stories” series. Each guest was given a mini-tour of the collection showcase at the suite, each one interacting with the fashion pieces in a modish photo shoot session. Taiwanese model Jessica Yang got acquainted with the Michael Kors Fall 2025 Black Hamilton Fringe Satchel at the Raffles Legacy suite’s cushy bed and private bath, while Filipina-British athlete and model Bethany Talbot was vibin’ with the Michael Kors Fall 2025 Black Hamilton Satchel at the suite’s living room.
Wanderlust was strong in the atmosphere. The overall Michael Kors Fall 2025 imagery has embodied a spirit of never-ending adventure, and the joy of dressing to be your own main character. Statement outerwear, fringed accents and new silhouettes of the brand’s beloved Nolita and Hamilton bags stand out against the city’s timeless beauty.
My personal favorite from the collection was the Michael Kors Fall 2025 Fringe Hamilton Moderne Purse in earth brown color, and the paisley print satin tie-neck midi dress in olive green color.
Another standout for me was the MK Lila purse that has this lovely varnished finish.
The Michael Kors Fall 2025 collection fashion pieces and the imagery truly captured the elegance and effortlessness of the wanderlust energy that comes with travel and style.
