Fashion’s Night Out might be over for most of the world, but style lovers in Japan still have their 2011 event to come. The Tokyo celebrations, to be held on November 5, will see many fashion firsts including the launch of Michael Kors‘ new limited edition leather goods collection.
Kors will present his new accessories, including a revamped version of his Hamilton bag, during the celebrations. As with most limited edition lines we don’t expect the bags to come cheaply, but that’s good news for Japan. All proceeds from the collection will benefit the Japanese Red Cross Society, a group that is still working hard in the aftermath of the March’s tsunami and earthquake.
I suppose Kors can afford to be generous, as his visit to the Japanese capital will coincide with the opening of a new store there. While the limited edition line won’t line his pockets, the ongoing success of this new boutique should do the trick.
Kors will also be celebrated at a special Japanese event to be held in his honor. American ambassador John Roos will host the night in his home, while Jennifer Hudson will provide the entertainment.
All of that news should be enough to ensure Michael Kors is the name on every Tokyo fashion lover’s lips next month.
