Michael Kor


I didn't really know much about Michael Kor until my mom bought a bag for me with the repeatedly printed "MK" all over the bag. Seriously, it's a really good bag I tell you. After my mom gave me the bag, I decided to look up the designer and find out what other stuff they have going on with their merchandise. First off, Michael Kor has some AWESOME watches. I couldn't believe the different variety of watches they had! I have this favorite bracelet I got from an Island festival, and they had it as a watch! I loved it. Mr. Kors began his career in fashion at the age of 19 designing and merchandising a collection for the renowned boutique LotharÕs 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; his first womenÕs collection was launched at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, amongst other stores. Since his collection was established, it has never strayed from KorsÕ initial vision of chic, luxurious American sportswear. In June of 1999 Michael Kors received the most prestigious award in the fashion industry Ð the CFDA Award for Womenswear Designer of the Year.
