Kenneth Cole Productions introduced on Tuesday its Fall 2024 women’s ready-to-wear collection, marking the brand’s first women’s apparel line under the creative direction of Emily Cole. 

Set to launch on September 30, the collection was inspired by contemporary style, and embodies elegance and sophistication. Emily designed the collection to be timeless, yet modern with architectural silhouettes in a color palette of earthy tones. 

Designed with versatility in mind, the 21-piece collection includes wool-blend outerwear, relaxed suiting, textured knits, bomber jackets, soft suedes, and vegan leather layering pieces—offering a glimpse into Emily’s vision for Kenneth Cole womenswear. A collection highlight is the Oversized Moto, a contemporary twist on a classic menswear silhouette.

Incorporating Kenneth Cole’s comfort compression technology, the pieces are meant to transition seamlessly from professional settings to casual outings or evening events, offering refined workwear and tailored softwear that blend style and practicality.

The collection, retailing for up to $495, will be available on kennethcole.com, Macys.com, and at Macy’s and Nordstrom stores. 

“This collection is much more than just a line of clothing, it is meant to stand for the women who do everything, who care deeply about the world around them, and who want to feel like they are part of a brand that really sees them and feels the same way,” said Emily, who was named EVP, women’s creative director & product strategy, back in July.

“I truly believe that the pieces in the collection and the campaign are a reflection of what women’s daily lives are like today and will help to propel the brand into the future.” 

The collection launches with a campaign, photographed by Cass Bird and starring Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose, encouraging women to raise their voices and continue the fight for change and equality.

“I was thrilled three years ago when Emily agreed to join the company, and I have loved watching her grow in this expanded leadership role as Women’s Creative Director,” added Kenneth Cole, chairman and chief creative officer.

“I am also proud of her commitment to social impact; her continued passion to be addressing and impacting important human rights agendas inspires me every day. It is only fitting that the brand is relaunching womenswear during a pivotal time, the collection feels empowering to all women, and the campaign shares an important message.”
