Designer Michael Kors

Michael Kors understood early enough what he was supposed to be doing. His first design steps were at the age of five, when Michael advised his mother to remove the bows from her wedding dress. This dress still remains elegant, but the marriage turned out to be short-lived.

Little Michael often starred in commercials. Probably childish enthusiasm, a radiant smile and an extraordinary desire to work explains his frequent presence in the filming of commercials. Soon, as Michael Kors himself says, his mother forbade him to participate in commercials, since it was necessary to study, because at this age everyone begins to learn, although some go with desire, while others are influenced by their parents. Michael had the second option - he did not want to study, and mathematics was not given.

To become a designer - this idea arose, as it were, by itself, and he had everything to turn it into reality. His mother was a model, his grandfather worked in the textile business, his grandmother could not afford to wear the same outfit twice, and Michael himself loved to draw, and in general was passionately in love with fashion. Everyone in the family loved fashion and served it as best they could. At the age of 11, Michael could already say about himself that not only in drawing, but also in business, he showed abilities.

It was around this time that he opened his first store, which he called Iron Butterfly Boutique. In it, Michael sold candles, bags and scarves, which he himself made. All the guys from the neighborhood came to him for shopping. As a result, the aspiring businessman sold everything in a week. He didn't stop there - Michael drew and painted. He drew many sketches, which he then turned to UFO Jeans. I liked the sketches and the company bought them. Sixteen-year-old Michael immediately rushed to spend it ... he bought a Cartier watch, which many of his peers dreamed of. And now a precious watch from the famous brand flaunted on his wrist.

In 1977 he entered the FIT Institute - the Institute of Technology and Design.

Michael Kors started his real business at the age of 21. By this time, he had already decided what kind of clothes he would sew. And his dreams began to turn into reality. In 1981, Michael Kors launched his own clothing line. These years, the years of the last decades of the outgoing twentieth century, he recalls with enthusiasm how amazing the time of his beginnings in the fashion industry, how beautiful, like nymphs, supermodels such as Cindy, Naomi, Linda, Claudia.

In 1999 Michael becomes Creative Director of C? Line and receives the CFDA Designer of the Year award.

His work is dedicated to women. And when he makes clothes and accessories for them, he thinks that modern women want to remain smart and attractive when going to work, on a business trip or just being with their family, communicating with loved ones, friends, going for a walk with children. Michael Kors prefers to combine art with commerce, as he is sure that a good designer simply must know what a woman is interested in, what clothes she prefers, in what dress she will be comfortable. But he prefers to focus on both practicality and interesting images.

He can be proud that on the street you can meet many women who prefer his clothes, his bags. It is good when the work brings pleasure not only to the person who does it, but also to many other people. For Michael Kors, the biggest reward is women's preference for his brand. And besides this award, he has more than one CFDA (American Union of Fashion Designers) awards, an award from the charity organization God's Love We Deliver.

There are many world-famous women among his admirers. He rave about the taste and style of Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie. They often wear Michael Kors' clothes.

The designer likes women who have their own style, the ability to add something, and change something in their image.

He admires women who can combine chic and practicality in their style. Conversely, he does not like those girls who wear super-tight short dresses and tall heels on which they can hardly move. He doesn't like those who abuse plastic surgery. In all this, you can see how natural Michael Kors perceives beauty, achieving maximum effect with a minimum of expressive means.

Michael Kors loves to travel, he is attracted by the sea, the beach. One of my favorite places is San Barthelemy. His work just makes it possible to travel, make new acquaintances among interesting people. He loves cinema, music, theater. He believes that both print publications and the Internet are needed. The same with shopping - shops are also needed, because here you can touch, try on everything, and online shopping, which makes it possible to look around a lot in a short time.

Michael Kors is demanding of himself, he kind of evaluates every thing from the outside - he would buy it for himself. His things will always be in demand because they combine luxury with practicality. Any of the women, putting on a new dress or shoes, instantly changes, feels more confident, because she likes herself. And this is the greatest joy for a designer.

Michael Kors considers the biggest mistake to be "... wearing something that doesn't fit well ... Self-confidence is a key component of style."
