In September, 2017, Yang Mi, the Chinese actress and singer, was named the first global brand ambassador for the Kors brand. She continues in the role, and appears in the spring 2019 campaign for Michael Michael Kors in Greater China. She was photographed by Columbine Goldsmith, alongside models Luna Bijl and Don Lee in Malibu, Calif.
Yang Mi wore pieces from the Michael Michael Kors “Peace and Love” group, including a Whitney bag in denim logo. In another image, she sports a look from the second spring delivery, which focuses on urban romance and highlights the Cece bag.
