Summary

Kevin Vuong is SVP of Global Store and Workplace Experience at Capri Holdings, the parent company of Michael Kors. Kevin talks about how the brand is redefining its signature "jet set" lifestyle for a new generation of customers, including the rollout of Jet Set Lounges with food and beverage in flagship stores in New York, London, and Beijing. He also covers the brand's award-winning popup activations at Galeries Lafayette, rising construction costs and tariff planning, an ambitious plan to renovate half of the company's global store fleet, sustainability efforts including LEED certification, and why he finds inspiration in the grit and diversity of New York City. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the 2026 Luxury Retail Leaders Summit at The Beekman in New York. James Cook is the Director of Retail Research in the Americas for JLL.
