Michael David Kors grew up on Long Island, NY and knew from the start he was destined for the fashion business. In 1978, he went to work for the French boutique Lothar's who gave him the opportunity to design and merchandise his first fashion collection. It was so well received that he was able to start his own fashion line in 1981 - the Michael Kors Women's collection. When Michael launched his eyewear collection, Fine Eyewear was one of the first boutiques to offer his fabulous eyewear line. Never sitting idle, his Project Runway has been a smashing success, allowing all of us to have a closer look at the personality who we all know as Michael Kors!
