Getting To Know Mr Kors:
Michael Kors (born August 9, 1959) is an American Fashion Designer. "Michael Kors" also refers to his brands of apparel and fragrances.
Kors was born Karl Anderson, Jr.[2] on Long Island, New York, the son of Joan Anderson Kors Krystosek, a former model. He grew up in Merrick, New York and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York.
Kors began designing clothes at the age of 19 and studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.[5] In 1981, Kors launched the Michael Kors womenswear line at Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Building on his success, Kors was named the first ever women's ready-to-wear designer and creative director for the French fashion house Celine in 1997. In his tenure at Celine, Kors turned the fashion house around with blockbuster accessories and a critically acclaimed ready-to-wear line. Kors left Celine in October 2003 to concentrate on his own brand. Kors launched his menswear line in 2002.
In addition to the Michael Kors runway collection, the MICHAEL Michael Kors and KORS Michael Kors lines were launched in 2004. KORS is considered the mid-tier line, between the runway and MICHAEL collections. The MICHAEL line includes women's handbags and shoes as well as women's ready-to-wear apparel. The KORS line contains footwear and Jeans. Currently, Kors has Full collection boutiques in New York, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, Manhasset, and Chicago.
In 2010, Kors received the Oliver R. Grace Award for Distinguished Service in Advancing Cancer Research, an annual honor bestowed by the Cancer Research Institute, a U.S. nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing immune system-based treatments for cancer. He received the honor at a black-tie ceremony held June 16, 2010, at The Mandarin Oriental in New York City.
