About Michael Kors
Mr. Kors began his career in fashion at the age of 19, designing and merchandising a collection for the renowned boutique lothar’s in new york city. The success of these clothes caught the attention of the fashion press, prompting kors to strike out on his own. In 1981 the michael kors label was formed; since his collection was established, it has never strayed from kors’ initial vision of chic, luxurious american sportswear.
In 2001, michael kors launched accessories under his collection label. Today, the line includes a full range of women’s handbags, shoes, belts and eyewear. In 2002, the company launched a full-scale men’s collection in response to the critical acclaim received by a capsule menswear line launched in 1997.
