Michael Kors Fall 2026 Campaign: Meng Ziyi and JC-T Take London

Michael Kors has chosen London as the setting for its Fall 2026 campaign, enlisting Meng Ziyi and JC-T as the faces of a series photographed by Nick Yang. The images place the brand’s jet-set identity within the city’s streets and landmarks, presenting a version of glamour that feels polished yet approachable—cosmopolitan without losing touch with daily life.

London does more than provide a backdrop. It gives the collection a context that complements its blend of tailored pieces, relaxed separates, and statement accessories. That sense of movement has been part of Michael Kors since the house was founded in 1981, with an built around people who shift easily between cities, occasions, and different sides of their wardrobes.

The Fall 2026 campaign advances that idea through two distinct perspectives. Ziyi brings her presence as one of China’s prominent actresses, while JC-T offers a sharper menswear interpretation of the collection. Placing both ambassadors within the same London setting also extends the campaign’s cultural reach.

Meng Ziyi, named Michael Kors’ Chinese brand ambassador in March 2026, makes her campaign debut for the house. JC-T returns for his second campaign after being named global brand ambassador in September 2025. Photographed by Yang, their respective campaigns share a visual language while allowing each ambassador to bring a different character to the season.

Meng Ziyi's First Michael Kors Campaign

Meng Ziyi made her acting debut at ten years old and has spent the two decades since building one of the most recognizable presences in Chinese drama. Her role as Wen Qing in “The Untamed,” one of the most-watched Chinese series in recent years, gave her a global following that extends well outside domestic audiences. Her appearances in “Blossom, Ever Night,” and “The King’s Avatar” have reinforced her standing as one of the most in-demand performers in the country.

When Michael Kors named her its Chinese brand ambassador in March 2026, the appointment signaled the brand’s intent to deepen its presence in a market where culturally specific credibility requires cultural specificity.

For the Michael Kors Fall 2026 campaign, Yang photographed Ziyi against London landmarks and across the city’s neighborhoods, dressed in tiered dresses, denim ensembles, light layers, and mixed separates. The images mark the beginning of what is positioned as an ongoing relationship rather than a one-season arrangement.

“We are so excited to feature Meng Ziyi in our fall campaign,” Michael Kors said. “Her style and ease pair perfectly with the mood of the season in London.”

The campaign runs across digital outlets, social media, and traditional outdoor placements worldwide through the fall.

JC-T and the Menswear Side of London

JC-T’s campaign takes a different visual direction from Ziyi’s, placing him at the sleeker, better-tailored end of London style. Yang photographed him across Trafalgar Square, Westminster Bridge, and the surrounding neighborhoods, building a campaign narrative around the idea of a man moving through the city with both ease and intention. The styling focuses on statement outerwear and refined ready-to-wear, with the fall collection’s key bags appearing throughout.

“Modern, refined and individual” is how the brand describes the visual character of the campaign, language that maps directly onto how JC-T has consistently been positioned within the Michael Kors universe since his appointment last year.

As an actor, singer, and dancer with a combined following across platforms that the brand considers among the most engaged in its ambassador roster, JC-T’s second Michael Kors campaign builds on the cultural infrastructure established by the first. Continuity matters: repeat campaigns signal to the audience that the relationship is genuine rather than transactional and that the ambassador is part of the brand’s ongoing creative conversation rather than a seasonal hire.

The Bags That Anchor Both Campaigns

The Michael Kors Fall 2026 campaign introduces two key bag silhouettes that run through both the Ziyi and JC-T imagery.

The Hamilton Moderne is a slouchy evolution of the brand’s iconic Hamilton bag, softening one of Michael Kors’ most commercially successful designs into a more relaxed, less structured shape that reads as current without abandoning the name recognition the original carries.

The Nolita appears in two new iterations alongside the existing silhouette: a messenger-style crossbody and a new bucket bag shape, expanding the bag’s footprint within the accessory lineup.

Both bags appear across both campaigns, giving the brand a product continuity that holds the dual-ambassador structure together at the merchandising level.

The campaigns launch this month with placements running globally throughout the fall across digital, social, and outdoor formats.
