Michael Kors
Michael Kors is the all-American designer whose collections
are a byword for uptown chic, and whose fans include the likes of
Gwyneth Paltrow, Aerin Lauder and Michelle Obama - who chose an
elegant black shift dress for her first official White House
portrait. Kors launched his eponymous line in 1981 and his
uber-luxe, meticulously tailored sportswear instantly
caught the attention of the international press and buyers alike.
"For me, fashion consists above all of designing clothing that
women really want to wear," says Kors. His luxurious collections -
both consistently wearable and utterly desirable - are a testament
to his philosophy.
