Designer of the Month

TCM would like to say Congratulations to Michael Kors for being the designer of the month. Kors began designing clothes at the young age of 19 and studied Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

In 1981, Kors launched the Michael Kors womens wear line but 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. Kors launched his menswear in 2002 and in addition to the Michael Kors Runway Collection, the MICHAEL Michael Kors and KORS Michael Kors lines were launched in 2004.

KORS collection is considered the mid-tier line, between the runway and Michael collections. The MICHAEL collection line includes women’s handbags and shoes as well as women’s ready-to-wear apparel and the KORS line contains footwear and Jeans. Among the celebrities who have worn Michael Kors’ designs are Jennifer Lopez, Elissa, Heidi Klum, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
