Designer Michael Kors was on hand to present the Spring/Summer 2024 Michael Kors Collection at the Carriage House Palm Beach, hosted by his international luxury fashion brand, Lizzi Bickford Meadow, and the Historical Society of Palm Beach County.
The invitation-only Fashion Showcase celebrated the Society’s grand exhibition, Endless Summer: Palm Beach Resort Wear, which includes two pieces by Michael Kors. A portion of proceeds from the event will benefit the Historical Society.
Society President and CEO Jeremy Johnson said, “We are so very grateful to Michael Kors and Lizzi Bickford Meadow for their philanthropic spirit and ongoing support of our mission and exhibition.” Open through May 2024 at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum, Endless Summer examines how a Palm Beach lifestyle has attracted and influenced residents and the most fashionable winter guests for over a cent.
“It was an honor to host legendary fashion designer Michael Kors at Carriage House to celebrate iconic design within our community and beyond. From historical architecture to the latest runway collection, it is the works of creative visionaries within our community, especially that of Mizner, Fazio and Kors, who make Palm Beach such a special -and beautiful- place to live, work and play, said Lizzi Bickford Meadow. “Further, it is the important work of the Historical Society which educates us and honors important traditions, people, and places, highlighting our rich history of arts and culture through programs such as Endless Summer. These programs help to ensure that future generations will also enjoy the beauty and splendor of this special place we call home. We look forward to hosting more moments like todays in partnership with HSPBC throughout this season and in years to come.
