Michael Kors is a legend in his own lifetime in the fashion industry. Starting at the age of 19, Kors received a great deal of media attention when he designed a collection for NYC's Boutique Lothar's. As a result, he quickly began work on his very own designer label and launched his first designer products in 1981.
A mere 2 years later, Kors was recognized for his amazing fashion sense, quality products, and design and received Dupont's "First American Original" award. It would be the first of many that Kors would receive, up to the present day.
In 2001, Kors launched one of his most popular products - handbags and other accessories. With his high quality standards, "polished, sleek, sophisticated American sportwear with a jet-set attitude", these handbags quickly became incredibly popular items. Each Michael Kors handbag is decked out with the signature "MK" hardware and fabric lining, with supremely designed fabrics and stitching.
Michale Kors is well-known for his product quality and fashion sense. His experience in the fashion industry also landed him a position as judge on the 5x Emmy nominated reality show "Project Runway" where he judges and gives advice to budding fashion designers and geniuses such as Santino Rice, Jeffrey Sebelia, and Jay McCarroll. |
