Michael Kors is a world-renowned, award-winning designer of luxury accessories and ready-to-wear. His namesake company, established in 1981, currently produces a range of products under Michael Kors Collection, MICHAEL Michael Kors, and Michael Kors Mens, including accessories, ready-to-wear, footwear, wearable technology, watches, jewelry, and a full line of fragrance products. Michael Kors stores are operated in the most prestigious cities in the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Milan, Paris, Munich, Dubai, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Rio de Janeiro. In addition, Michael Kors operates digital flagships across North America, Europe, and Asia, offering customers a seamless omnichannel experience.
At the center of it all, is a designer who has created an enduring and iconic luxury lifestyle empire with a distinctive point of view and global reach. Michael Kors has a sharp focus on providing his customers with accessories and clothes that are consistently polished, chic, relaxed, and glamorous. Kors has also been the recipient of numerous industry awards and accolades within the fashion industry, been honored for his philanthropy, and earned the respect and affection of millions.
The fashion designer also focuses on giving back. For more than 25 years he has been a passionate supporter of God’s Love We Deliver, a New York-based non-profit organization that cooks and delivers nutritious meals to people living with serious illnesses in and around New York City. Continuing his philanthropic efforts, in 2013 Michael Kors launched “Watch Hunger Stop,” partnering with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to help fight world hunger. Proceeds from annual special-edition products, as well as from other targeted initiatives, help provide food to children through WFP’s school meals program. To date, Michael Kors has helped WFP deliver over twenty five million meals (and counting) to hungry children.
