The San Francisco Opera Guild and Neiman Marcus San Francisco have announced that they will present a benefit luncheon and fashion presentation of the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2024 Collection and a preview of Fall/Winter 2024.

The benefit will be held on April 16, 2024, with a special appearance by designer Michael Kors.

In a statement, Kors said, “This season we’re taking everyone on holiday. It’s the transcendent joy of getting away, it’s the sweeping romance of a glamorous escape and it’s a jolt of sophisticated, chic optimism.”

Proceeds from the event, co-chaired by Farah Makras and France Szeto, will help thousands of Bay Area K–12 students develop confidence, compassion, critical thinking, and many other life skills through San Francisco Opera Guild’s award-winning music education programs.

Opera Guild President Courtney Labe added, “We are thrilled to welcome world-renowned designer Michael Kors to San Francisco for this important fundraiser with our partner Neiman Marcus. Attendees are supporting the Guild’s mission ‘to give voice to potential’ and the organization’s many education and community programs throughout the year. I am so grateful for our amazing co-chairs, Farah Makras and France Szeto, for their tireless dedication to ensure this will be an amazing event.”

The fundraiser will take place at Neiman Marcus San Francisco and will begin with a Champagne reception followed by a fashion presentation accompanied by a luncheon prepared by McCalls Catering & Events.
