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.
Celebrities who have worn Mr. Kors' include Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Kate Winslet, Sandra Bullock, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Blake Lively, Anjelica Huston, Jennifer Hudson and Debra Messing.
In 2004, Mr. Kors began his role as one of the judges on the critically acclaimed and five-time Emmy-nominated reality show “Project Runway,” a role that he continues in the series.
