An extension of Michael Kors’ foray into the lifestyle sector, the 'MK Jet Set Lounge' not only serves as a tangible expression of the brand's aesthetic but also marks a breakthrough in consumer engagement. Following the launch of Asia's first 'MK Jet Set Lounge' at the Beijing China World Trade Centre flagship store in March 2026, Michael Kors is extending this immersive experience from a retail space to a luxury travel setting for the first time, in collaboration with Niccolo Chengdu. Together, they have created an exclusive sanctuary for urban elites that combines a sense of occasion with the spirit of travel, bringing the Jet Set lifestyle philosophy of 'boundless travel and effortless enjoyment' to life.
To capture the essence of the travel-centric Jet Set Lounge, Niccolo Chengdu's Pastry Chef, Una, delved deep into the brand's spirit, skillfully integrating travel elements into each pastry creation to craft a 'round-the-world journey' for the palate. The Coconut Mousse delights the taste buds with its light and creamy texture, shaped like an aeroplane soaring through the clouds. Filled with a luscious tropical fruit coulis filling, it encapsulates the refreshing spirit of a tropical coastline in a single bite. Inspired by the classic Michael Kors Nolita shoulder bag, the Pistachio Cake blends rich nutty aromas with a sweet cherry Chantilly cream in perfect harmony. This treat is delightfully sweet without being overpowering, reflecting contemporary elegance. The Rum-Soaked Fig Financier offers a unique blend of fruity and alcoholic notes, topped with a miniature boarding pass, as if ready for immediate departure to a distant land, infusing the culinary journey with a sense of occasion. The afternoon tea set also includes three exclusive Michael Kors desserts: a Cheesecake, a two-tone Almond Biscuit, and a Jasmine Macaron. With their refined textures and minimalist elegance, these confections add a touch of accessible luxury and modern flair to the gastronomic journey.
This collaboration between Niccolo Chengdu and Michael Kors represents a cross-industry fusion of hospitality and luxury fashion, offering a fresh interpretation of the Jet Set lifestyle. The 'MK Jet Set Lounge' Afternoon Tea combines the brand's modern aesthetic with the hotel's refined service, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the relaxing essence and joys of travel without leaving the city, right at the heart of Chengdu. This offering sets a new trend for culinary experiences that are both stylish and delightful.
