| Michael Kors is not only a hot selling brand but a name of a famous designer. He was born Karl Anderson, Jr. on Long Island, New York, the son of Joan Kors, a former model, and her first husband, Karl Anderson, a college student. His mother told him that he could choose a new first name as well; subsequently he renamed himself Michael David Kors. He grew up in Merrick, New York and graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York. Kors' mother is Jewish and his father was of Swedish descent. Kors had an affinity for fashion since he was very young. His mother thought it might have had to something to do with the fact that he was exposed to the apparel and hangtags industry through her modeling career. As a teen, Kors began designing clothes and selling them out of his parents' basement, which he renamed the Iron Butterfly. In 1977, he enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. However, he dropped out after only nine months and took at job at a boutique across from Bergdorf Goodman on 57th Street, where he was given a small space to sell his designs for hangtags. Shortly after, Dawn Mello, the fashion director at Bergdorf, discovered Kors. She asked if he would show his collection to Bergdorf Goodman's buyers and he has had his collection ever since. In addition to the Michael Kors runway collection, the MICHAEL Kors and KORS Michael Kors lines were launched in 2004. KORS are considered the mid-tier line, between the runway and MICHAEL collections. The MICHAEL line includes women's handbags, shoes and hangtags 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. 2011 marked Kors' thirtieth year in business. |
